Introduction to Inventioneering

October 29, 2025  •  EPISODE 284

What does it really take to create something that changes the world? In this episode, Dr. Roger Billings introduces Inventioneering—the blend of creativity and engineering that turns ideas into reality. But inventioneering isn’t just for scientists and engineers—it can be applied to any career or project. Students are invited to take on a special challenge: design and submit their own t-shirt for a chance to have it featured in the Acellus Store!

    Thank you Roger Billings, Todd Edmond, and Pajet Monet for being such an inspiration. I don’t think this comment will be seen by any of you but all I really hope is that you hear this from many other students. The idea I am pitching will have soft, delicate, colors like the ones depicted and will say “In a world where I’m invisible I still play my role.” And will have this logo I designed. There are so many bright minds in Acellus and any one of them would deserve to have their shirt created!

    Hey! My name is Audrey, and this is my idea for a shirt!😁💖
    I was thinking for a while about what I wanted my design to be, and to be honest, I was pretty clueless at first😅
    But then I had an idea! I love biology, especially learning about plants and animals. And I really like poetry (I write songs🎶), so I knew I wanted to combine both of those things into my shirt.
    So yeah! This is what I came up with!😋
    Please please please (sorry not trying to beg) consider not only my idea, but others too! I really like Hollie M. , Charles K. , and Lilly K.’s ideas
