Those tiny little computer chips are soooooooooooo cool!!! There so tiny delicate, but have A LOT of information in them!
this science live was so interesting!
The Arduino was very interesting! just got one! 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.
We love you, Pajet Monet!
thanks for this class from brazil.
The arudino are very interesting. Another great science live! Thanks Dr. Billings!
When I was younger, my Dad used to experiment with Arduinos, and I always found them interesting.
Josua.
I loved this science live ! The alligator trick was hilarious
I am excited for the science fair projects.
The Acellus gold key card looks really interesting
Yes Tobias
This was a really interesting video. I really enjoyed it!
The arduino is cool. I think it is so interesting how technology keeps getting better and better.
I ❤️ science live!
The Arduino was cool!
I loved knowing about the asteroids. Also the Arduino topic was very interesting.
What is the difference between an Arduino board and regular computer?
I love science live.
OMG!!!!!! I love that Acellus schools are so amazing! NASA rocket launches into the sky and runs into a giant asteroid! So cool!
R-51 is pretty cool. I like watching these videos it teach me something new every time
Amazing! Small projects leading to success is so inspirational!
The science live is actually pretty good. It’s amazing how much the world has progressed over the years and what we can create
I love the funny Sherlock Holmes bit!
Great job Dr. Watson!!
Yay for Science Live!!
I love these Science Lives! Scientific Breakthroughs with Tobias is always interesting!
How can they predict when the asteroid veered so far off course from hitting Earth if they thought it would hit in 2029? What would they do if there were asteroids heading to Earth?
R-51 is so funny! The alligator trick was the best lol!
Space stuff is really cool. Changing the direction of an asteroid sounds impossible but now with this research it possible.
I bought an Arduino 2 years ago and it has served its amazing purpose since then. Science live really put out all the amazing things you could do with arduinos!
The Arduino is super interesting!
loved this science live!!
How many GPS satelites does the US have?
Another awesome video! Thanks Dr. Billings!
Sherlock Holmes is such a cool character!! loved the skit
The story about the DART Spacecraft Dr. John Billings shared was very intriguing!
thank you, space is always a facinating subject to me. its crazy how a small piece of computer can do. have a nice week!!
That’s so cool that the researchers at the university of Scotland figured out that a meteor or asteroid struck the silver pit crater and created a 330 foot wave! I wonder how they figured out that it would create that wave?
R-51 is so funny!
Dr B always has the best stories!
Thank you acellus team!!
Science is really fascinating!
ms pajet is so cool
The Arduino was very interesting!
an amazing arduino project example is a smart Automatic plant watering system. which uses an Arduino uno, a soil moisture sensor, and a relay module to control am water pump. lt monitors plant soil, saving water water and hydrating them only when necessary, creating a practical lo T solution.
I love how Acellus is, in a way, better than physical school, I can do it on my own time, and learn things I might’ve had to go to a specific school for!
Lol, the alligator trick was funny. Love from Texas.
I really am interested in all the things NASA does. I am interested in science more because of these videos.
We love Tobias! Watched from NJ!
I love learning new things. This was good.
I love the area 51 part
we love science live!
I liked the idea of the butterfly but would change it to a model airplane to make it a little cooler looking when flying.
I love the dart mission because I love learning about space theme things.
R-51 is cool
This one was definitely one of my favorites! Thank you Acellus!
I love all the videos that Dr. Billings and Pajet make, so exciting!
When are we going to get the sign-in cards?
Loved this episode! It was so funny when Caleb thought it was Malachi.
Also, I think Pajet’s butterfly sounds like a wonderful idea!
The arduinos were very interesting!
hi from VA
The Arduino was very interesting to learn about, and see how it worked.
I liked Watson’s version of the crime.
I think that the prodigious were very dramatic but I’ve enjoyed it very much I learned a lot from this video thank you
the ending was 😂 so funny
This was incredibly interesting, thank you so much!
My favorite part of Science live is Pajet.
The Sherlock Holmes skit was so good!
R-51 is hilarious!
Learning about microcontrollers and Arduinos was fun, especially with the Sherlock Holmes skit.
This was extremely interesting, thank you!
I want to learn more about creating digital things.
enjoyed this episode of the arduin, It’s kinda cool seeing how creativity and technology come together to solve real problems. Learning about how Arduino can be used to build and experiment with new ideas makes science feel way better and exciting
Dear Dr Billings, I enjoyed today’s Science Live. I enjoyed everything! I really liked learning about the astroid that is coming in 2029.
I loved the clue characters in the mystery
I learned that Arduino is a small computer that can control lights, sensors, and other devices. It is a great tool for learning programming and building creative projects.
Science live has taught me so much. I am currently in 11th Grade. I currently don’t know what I want to do after school. But Science Live has given me a new perspective to life
Thankyou Science live team
I love these so much
Who invented the Arduino?
R-51 is so fun Acellus always has fun things I love it!!
We love miss pajet
The Arduino was very interesting!
Thank you for this episode. I enjoyed the R51 and the boring book.
It’s crazy how a small project can change your life
Computers always are a cool thing to learn about, especially the tiny ones!
I liked the thing for the school district
Thanks for the great video! I watched it all the way through, and the way you presented all these amazing Arduino ideas kept me engaged the whole time. Great job!
I just finished watching the entire video, and I have to say, the variety of Arduino projects you showcased is absolutely mind-blowing. Thank you for putting this together!

Hello from va
This episode is amazing!
Thank goodness I had the opportunity to listen to Tobias tonight! Being able to hear about the possibilities and innovations heavily influenced thanks to the microcontroller being produced was so extremely exciting! I never truly appreciated how even everyday appliances such as my microwave are so detailed in such a ordinary object!
love science live!
Science live was very informative and inspiring!
I love Science Live!
how do astroids hit earth.
this was interesting!
I love science! It rocks❤️
This was a great episode! I like learning new science facts every week.
Hi from KY!
Learned a lot tonight!
I love this episode so much! and R-51 was truly great.
It’s amazing how many school districts are interested in Acellus.

I like this weeks episode. Learning about the asteroid is very fun. I like to watch the science live every week!
Enjoyed first time hearing of microcontrollers..Found it interesting cant wait to order mine
The Arduino was so interesting to learn. It’s so cool to see how far we have come.
When are we going to send our own acellus satellite into orbit for a new space discovery class program of sorts?
I like miss pajet !!
Another amazing video Dr. Billings!
This helps me learn so much and thanks Acellus for helping me learn better!
my favorite part was about the chip
My first one and I loved it
hello from South dakota
How big does a rocket need to be to deflect a 20 mile wide asteroid.
Great Science Live I love the R-51 skits!
This episode was very fun to watch. I liked the dramatic and Sherlock Holmes concept.
I love videos about space!
I think it would be cool to build an Arduino.
I love the story about the speak and spell.
