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.

Dr Roger Billings is amazing
How did Benjamin Franklin experiment with the Leyden Jar?
i would love if my home could be hydrogen powered
Miss Pajet Monet looked beautiful in the episode today, and i enjoyed learning about how inventioneering combines ideas and engineering to solve real problems in life!
Who came up with the word “inventioneering?’
Eli liked R51’s segment today!
The jet kind of looks like something you would see on Star Wars. How cool.
Thank you for this opportunities to learn more about scienece!
I’m very thankful for science live and all the amazing things I learned, happy thanksgiving everyone.
I didn’t realize it was against the law for aircraft to make a sonic boom. My mom says when she was growing up in the 70s that she remembers hearing them in Texas.
Hello From NV thank you so much for being such an inspiration
Happy Thanksgiving from California!
That plane you guys showed us was so cool.I am from New Mexico.I am so inspired by you Dr Roger Billings.I want to be an inventor like you.That is so cool that you got to that Navy Cruise.
Thanks for clarifying about the scholarship. Love science live!
Science Live really inspires me so much. i love Wednesdays!
I love R-51!
These are always enjoyable to watch, happy late thanksgivings !

Hi i’m Kensleigh. I love Sciennce Live it’s so cool and fun!
Happy Thanksgiving to Dr. Billings, Pajet Monet, R51, Teachers, Staff, Parents, and Students!
A naval science cruise would be interesting
Didn’t know that Ben Franklin was the reason that there is positive and negative charge for the battery placement and that he had something to do with it.
If you were able to meet Mr. Benjamin Franklin, what would you ask him?
What kinds of real-world projects do you suggest students try first when starting as inventioneers?
If possible, could you make the pages on the books longer in the activities for higher grades? I have some amazing stories that are quite long in my notepad
Batteries have been around a long time
Hello from Virginia, Happy thanksgiving!
The Area 51 segment was really funny and I think the story of how batteries were made was really cool
I am grateful for my family and my friends.
It’s crazy how far Morse code has come!
Thank you for another great episode. We enjoyed Dr. John talking about the X59 Supersonic jet and how they are trying to reduce the sonic boom sound. We also really liked Dr. Tobias telling us about the Leyden jar and how it led to Benjamin Franklin inventing the “electric batteries”. And R51 was hilarious as always!
Wow, cool thank you for this. I’m glad the scholarship attendance was clarrified! The battery part was cool.
I love these can’t wait for this wednesday!
Hi from Louisiana!!
Hi from Virginia
Watching from Chicago!

hi from illinois so excited
Awesome science live this week! Happy Thanksgiving Acellus Academy!
I love Acellus! 🙂
I’m thankful this thanksgiving for Acellus! Happy late Holidays ❤️
I really enjoyed this SCIENCE live. It is crazy that you could create a spark the way described in the video. I am also looking forward to using my unlocked activities after I complete my goals.
Hello from Vietnam
How different would the world be today if we discovered electricity 100 years earlier?
I agree there is always something to be grateful for. I chose to see the glass half full! I found the pitot tube info interesting especially about the altitude changing the speed.
I liked learning about inventioneering.
I am grateful for Acellus. I learn so much with this program, and I don’t have to stress about anything.
I really would like to ride on one of those supersonic jets one day. That would be awesome!
Thank you for teaching us about inventing.
Inventing with solar energy is so cool, I like learning with Acellus thank you
Interesting jet design! Should be nicknamed “the Pinocchio.”
I love science live! This inspired me to try to invent something.
Morse Code was a cool invention!
Thank you so much Acellus Academy for this once amazing video. Have a good night.
I love this video! Hello from Nevada!
I love science and Acellus!
The way they made a 9 volt battery is pretty cool. My mom always says the same stuff to me about gratitude, she would be happy that I’m hearing it from more than just her
That’s so cool some jets can go faster than speed of sound. Im so grateful for Science Live for teaching me alot of new things. Thank you Mr Roger, Ms Pajet and everyone.
Happy Thanksgiving. I am thankful for Acellus!
acellus is so helpful
Great live stream as always, and Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate!
wow i learned so much from this video keep up the good work this is amazing!!!:Di love these videos they make my day so much brighter
It’s funny that R51 did the morse code and said SOS on the clicker and he called the UFO by accident.
I have learned things on science live i would never had known!
Thank you for the clarification on the scholarship attendance!
I love Science Live! It is interesting to know that batteries came from very long ago 🔋
Happy Thanksgiving and i love acellus it is the best homeschooling program in the world and I wish I could have this program forever is the best program ever thank you so much for letting me in the acellus program

Hello from Atlanta
Happy Holidays Science live
How big is was the jar that Benjamin Franklin used?
Hello from Texas!
I really liked learning about the new supersonic jet. My great grandfather was a test pilot.
I enjoyed learning about the Leyden Jar.
Hello from Illinois!!!! Love it here!
The story about Benjamin Franklin using the leyden jars was very interesting! I had never heard of a leyden jar before.
I think the history of the Leyden jar is super intresting. I was really fixated through out the explanation of it.
Thanks for the video! I love the parts with Dr John!
Did Elon Musk invent the cyber truck?
If multiple people work on a invention together who gets the credit for making the invention, all of them? Loved this science live!
Happy thanksgiving!!!!!!
Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of the friends at Acellus!
Is always a pleasure seeing Science Live.
When you’re inventing something new — say a gadget or improved tool — how do you balance between making it as simple as possible and adding enough complexity so it’s actually useful and makes people go ‘wow’?
Watching from Texas!
Hello from Canada
There was a UFO spotting over Area 51
My kids love making books in activities 📚
Thanks for the super sonic science update!
I love acellus! from georgia!
Thank you so much! Happy Holidays!
Writing a book in activities sounds like fun. Maybe I’ll try it sometimes.
I like Dr Tobias’ neckties! They are funny!
My favorite part was learning about the new jet!
I love science live so much!!!!
I love how 51 was pressing the button so many times lol! Keep making children laugh, Area 51!
I LOVE SCIENCE LIVE!!!!!❤️🤍
Thank you for clarifying the scholarship attendance! I have been really busy so I was really worried when I missed it last week. Thank You!
I enjoyed John’s talk about the airplane
Science is the best!
