Gabriel M,
I agree. Dr. John is the best teacher! (Personally I just love coding and Dr. John is really nice)
Dr. Roger Billings inspired me to make the world 🌎 a better place tho I still dont know how, I still will try
How would one go about finding if there are any patents on an idea you have?
I just wanna say thank you Dr. Billings for creating this program because I’ve made such good grades and I love it so much.
It’s Interesting how little things as simple as text on a shirt can impact so many lives.
I love the science live videos!
I really like the first shirt, the hydrogen car looks really cool

My favorite is don’t invent the sun be the sun
r 51 shirt is funny i want it
Acellus !❤️

Question Of The Day: Why does the sun goes down faster now?
I love watching Science Live with Dr. Billings i learn stuff every week
I’m learning about the sun in science this week. It’s cool that it is hot burning gases
Acellus teachers are probably the best teachers ive ever had.
I really enjoyed todays Science Live!
Also I’ve really wanted to be mentioned in one of your Science Live episodes! Please? 🥺
YAY!!! I am really close to be able to get a Acellus T-shirt!!
Today is my first day and really enjoyed my first class!!!
Dr B has some interesting stories
I can’t wait to see the shirts! I hope I have enough gold credits saved! 🙂
ACELLUS is so fun
Dr.Billings I hope you see this you completely blow my mind every science live. These science lives are really interesting. And Pajet I love you!
The way inventions were explained was great
This was my first time hearing about hydrogen trains, can’t wait to see one in person one day!
I 💚 Science live every single day and week I have learned so much about hydrogen energy
I want to be a scientist when I grow up.
Motivation is one of the hardest things for people in our generation to continuously put out. I feel like if we all stuck to our goals and dreams we could actually get so many things done.
You’re business advice is very helpful!
R-51 is the best!
Hello! I think I may speak for all of us when I say Mr. Billings and Mrs. Pajet are the duo the world always needed. If I got a dollar every time they helped me I’d be a millionaire! I’m 13 and in 8th grade and I have gotten better grades than ever since I switched to Acellus! Thanks from Oklahoma! 😃
I like how they was talking about making a inspiring other people to be there best
Thanks Dr.B for the best advice.
I really like my Acellus school.
my message would be “You matter you can be the change”
I learn best when I am learning with my comfort person, My mom!
I love these science lives they teach me so much!
To be an inventor, you must know a lot about how the things are made…
Go drB😆

Question for Roger billings, What made you want to start inventing? And how much longer do you think until most of the world will be using hydrogen for most things.
I really enjoy these live lessons thank you for all you do !
How about a t-shirt that says “Am I getting too Social Emotional?”
I love watching the science lives
I always love every episode on science live, they always introduce me to new and interesting facts . I can’t wait to see all of the t-shirt designs from my fellow students and see how everyone expresses their creativity!
Dr. Billings, I love hearing your stories and information.
The horse whisperer is my favorite Robert Redford movie.
HI my name is Jude, this is my first time watching science live!!!!
Good luck guys congrats to who ever wins
Mrs. Pajet is my teacher
How do you get someone passionate on what you are coming up with?
Yes Pajet is the best sel teacher!!!!
The best way to find a solution is to identify the problem
Dr. Billings is awesome!
I never thought about how you have to discover the problem first, that really opens it up
Pajet is awsome
Watching Science Live every Wednesday night makes my day. I love Science!!!
