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!

    These two designs are more of a rough draft, I would like cooler font for the both of them and for the navy shirt possibly some gold details or accents. I also had a circuit background or binary code idea for the white shirt.

    So I noticed there was a new UI for the comments (as far as I noticed). How interesting… Well anyway, I honestly look forward to Todd Edmond’s conspiracy course. I may not be one to believe conspiracies, but I am willing to keep an open mind this one time, as I really do enjoy his courses. I will highly consider this course.

    As for the T-shirt logo, here’s what I came up with. Sure, it’s a relatively simple pencil sketch, I know, but it should convey the idea.

    Here’s mine. It represents strength, courage, and to never loose hope even when it seems impossible. For example in more ways than one when it seems hard to study or you feel like giving up. You still look up and keep going which represents the phoenix. To keep that fire in you.

    I designed a shirt whose style I liked and thought would be a good design to share. I will upload two images. One is a rough sketch of the design of the shirt, and the second is an AI generated version to represent a realistic version of it. There are, though, two mistakes on the second image. The word “Knowledge” is misspelled and should be on the left sleeve of the shirt above the cuff line with “Acellus” on the right sleeve. The “A” is the back of the shirt.

    I created a rough sketch of an idea I had for a shirt design that I personally like the style of, and decided to submit it. I’m going to submit two designs, one that is the rough sketch as well as one I made with AI to represent a realistic design of it. The only problem with the second design is that the word “Knowledge” was misspelled, and it is meant to be on the left sleeve above the cuff line, so that “Acellus” is written on the right sleeve and “Knowledge” on the left sleeve. I hope you like the design.

    Hi, I am very late to this but I hope that you guys can still look at mine! It is on the back a picture of R51 saying “I invented Pumpkin Day!” and then a voice (Dr Billings AKA big r) saying “No you didn’t!” Then in quotes “if you want to invent something you need a problem.” Oh and the classic lady P by r51. The shirt can come in camo, black, grey, or blue. On the front is says Acellus diagonally. With little atoms floating around, anyways that’s about all I hope y’all like it!

    Hello! My name is Romina. I was inspired after hearing about the shirt design competition on Science Live! While looking through the Acellus Store I realized that we don’t really have a school mascot, and I thought that Tobler and AC-D2 could be perfect since everyone already knows them. It’s like when people get together over a character or thing they love. When students share that love for something it helps bring the community closer together! I created some designs featuring Tobler and ACD2 and a “Class of” shirt that could be costumized with each students graduation year. I also made some funny designs based on AI jokes, like CatGPT because I misread ChatGPT once. I really think there’s so much potential for Acellus merch with a mascot, and I think it would look awesome too on notebooks, water bottles, mugs, and backpacks
    I hope you enjoy my drawings and hopefully some make you laugh! 🙂

I would also like if the background of the shirt can be customize with three colors that way the background is bland and instead cool and swirly! Please make the shirt cheap that way people can gt the shirt relatively easy! I hope you enjoy my shirt!!!
