    I liked the discussion on the role of arduinos in building robots and managing electronic components. It’s cool that this technology has assisted the US military. I also think it’s cool how they found that meteor crater at the bottom of the sea.

    I saw a news story about a microchip being sent into a black hole in space in the near future. I would love to see what information it gets. We thought that light could not escape a black hole, but now we know that isn’t true because of new information from new technology.

    The Arduino was very interesting! I’m so excited about graduating! just got the email it’s official, my diploma is in the mail! Thank you Acellus team for making these years so enjoyable to learn! You really saved me and my education because when I was in public schools, I was failing and the teachers were giving up on me. Thanks to your program it made it easier for me to understand the teachings. This program is amazing and Science Live is a good way to learn things not taught in the classes.

    I really liked the protégé segment and I would like for Mr. Tobias to do his breakthrough segment every week. I thought the arduino was cool. I would like to learn how to use it and program it. I also wanted to know if Mr. Billings would be willing to add the arduino and accessories to the Acellus store and can be something that students get with credits if possible? My mother wanted to know how to get the gold card? Also when NASA hit that asteroid did pieces break off and become projectiles?

    The dart project is cool! Imagine changing a whole asteroid’s circut? What would happen however, if we change it’s movement and it accidentally hits our moon or different planets? Would that be dangerous, or cause future problems? Like if a huge piece of that asteroid hit our moon and most of the moon can’t cover up the sun? Also I love listening to Tobias! He’s so cool!

    like that steroid earth tech can detect and estimate when and where a asteroid may hit or pass but only by a radius which the smallest thing could impact that and change course and the slightest degree off could be enough to hit earth.
