Inventioneering

November 26, 2025  •  EPISODE 288

What does it really take to bring ideas to life? In this episode, Dr. Roger Billings takes us deeper into the world of inventioneering—the dynamic mix of creativity, engineering, and problem-solving that turns imagination into real-world inventions. He shows how inventioneering isn’t limited to tech or science—it can be applied to any creative or practical project. If you’ve ever had a spark of inspiration, this episode will help you learn how to shape it into something meaningful and impactful.

    It’s so cool to hear the origin of things that we use today, like the origin of batteries and why they were named. It’s something we don’t even think about but we use on a daily basis.

      I agree with you Ariel. I never knew the origin of batteries. Science Live is one of my favorites. Its is just so cool that Acellus had activities. Usually other homeschooling programs don’t have activities like Acellus.
