hi from texas
Watching from Virginia
Wow I never knew plants were that smart! Hopefully this information can help a lot of people in the future 🙂
To be able to see a hydrogen car over at the Acellus headquarters would amazingly awesome
Always love science live every week!
Interesting study on chat gpt. Enjoy watching.
Hello from Fairview, TN, great episode today!
Actually, ever since a was little i have seen those kinds of plants, and I have always wondered why do they close like that
I love Acellus!!!
Science live is the best. Dr.B you are amazing.Love the proteges they are hilarious Mrs. and Mr. Rodgers also love your learning videos and Tobias you are important to science live. ACULLUS is the absolute BEST!
The new precalc course seems interesting; Patrick Mara is a great math teacher,
I want to make a robot with a microcontroller.
I loved this livestream! From NC!
Acellus is awesome!
Its so fun to watch these science live videos!
Acellus has interesting videos each and every week.
awesome show tonight!!!
It is so crazy how plant learn and adapt to their environment to survive. It was funny when they made the little movie with the Lego and the people fishing I loved it was really funny.
I love science live !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Acellus is the best school ever I learned the most here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Inventions are amazing A lot of people wish to invent but never do.
Hi from Texas, loved this weeks live.
So awesome celebrating 60 years on your invention Dr. Billings. Congratulations. Wish we could make it to Acellus world so I could see it in person. Maybe next year.
Thank you for awesome opportunities!
Acellus is the best from fernley Nevada
hello from TENNESSEE!!!
With a need comes the opportunity for a new invention. Thank you for sharing, Tobias!
hi from Illinois
It is crazy how much you can do with such a small piece of technology. It is crazy to think what could be done in the future!!!
Love his content hes really smart.
I loved learning about circuits! Thanks for a great video.
Look forward to these every week!
Nice, my first acellus live.
Hello from Illinois!!! What a great week for Science live!!!
I loved this video so much, Acellus is such a great school system!
Hi from Georgia
I like watching! From Chicago
Yes, I think that an Acellus Micro Controller Project Board would be a great addition to the gold store.
Acellus is so amazing!
Plants have a sleep schedule ? That are like humans! *
Acellus is awesome!!!
Wow! 60 years is incredible! Dr. Billings has made such a difference in our world! The Proteges are hilarious!
Another amazing episode, watching from Mississippi.
i learned about the touch me not plants
Hello from Guam!
ACELLUS IS THE BEST!
Happy Wednesday!!
hello ヾ😊ﾉﾞ
Thanks science live! I’m always learning something new.
I really enjoy the talked about the touch me not plant.
I liked how you asked the questions twice and showed that the same person can have different answers.
It’s super cool how with the Arduino I can literally build anything that is so cool
Can hydrogen cars replace gas cars?
I like how David is wearing a cross bracelet.
I love this show. Thanks, Acellus!
Hello from Arlington TN!!!
Hello from Colorado!!!!
The tickle me plant was interesting to see
I enjoy watching these live sessions.
Acellus is so good for learning!
I’m so happy that we are keeping the breakthrough moments in science section of the show. -_-, Phew…
I’m so glad I’m apart of acellus academy!
It was cool how the plant would close when touched
Hi I really like Acellus academy 🩷
I loved watching this one!!
Hi from maryland!
Outstanding episode, the “Tickle Me Plant” that Dr. John was explaining about blew my mind, the fact that their leaves close up when they detect something touching them, I also have to say that the Robotic arm the protégés built with an Arduino was totally epic.
Watching this from Florida
NOT BY THE CAPE NOT THOR NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
New to Acellus and I would love to see the board on the gold store! Very interesting!
Hl from Florida
Hello from Texas!!
I can’t wait for todays lesson!!
Hi from Georgia! I am excited for this live!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes I will use it to make something.
Love the Science Lives, I wonder what it would be like to actually attend one?? 🤔🤔
To be able to see a hydrogen car over at the Acellus headquarters would amazingly awesome!
hi from Colorado 6th grade
Just starting and so far really enjoying this program!!
Hello from Wilmington, NC!
yess and I love Acellus it’s amazing and brilliant!!!!
Hello from Texas!!
R51 is my favorite
I believe that plants are sentient beings because I used to sing to my plants and tell them goodnight every night. My plants grew faster than my brother’s and my mom’s. The flowers were more beautiful, also. My favorite plant’s name was Queen.
I’d like to invent something new one day!
thanks for hosting another wonderful video
Just watched this its pretty good
Love Wednesdays
Hello from Illinois!!
Will microcontrollers be used in future electronics? More specifically, are microcontrollers going to be implanted in upcoming devices? How will this affect their programming and designs? For instance, are they going to have more energy and structure compared to the electronics we use currently?
My favorite part was area 51.
When does the new math course come out?
This week’s Science Live was so interesting!
Thanks for another interesting video, Hi from Orlando FL
I like my Acellus Academy school! It is cool and I love learning here.
I love Acellus!
All these cool inventions are amazing! how do all of you prepare such awesome things every week?
Acellus academy is the best homeschooling program!!!
seeing the hygrogen car in real life would be the best day of my lifeee
emma here from west virginia
I am excited to watch Acellus World live
Y’all always find a way to make these topics interesting and fun to learn!
hello from Nebraska
Hope to someday come to a science live, LIVE.
I thinks its interesting how the Uno microcontroller has so much power in such a small area.
I absolutely loved this episode. The builds from the kids where awesome! I love science live and how r-51 makes me laugh. See you guys next wednesday.
From Alabama and enjoying this too much
I like Science Live, keep making more, my own kind of people!
I love Science Live and Acellus!
These videos really make me want to learn more about robotics!
Hi from Tillamook, OR
grateful to learn from you
I can’t wait to see more research on plants having feelings or knowledge!! Super cool
Hi from Ohio
Hello from Illinois. Looking forward to Science Live!
How could microcontrollers impact electronics? Will they lead to new technological discoveries? Will they be used as a basis for future devices? For example, will some upcoming electronics become smaller and more compact because of microcontrollers being put into them?
Hello from New Mexico!
I thought the most interesting part about this episode was when you were talking about the plants, it was very interesting.
That’s so impressive that the plants could adapt that quickly!
Always learning something new with these videos.
What job careers could you go after if you have a technological engineer diploma?
Hi, watching from California ♡
Loved today’s episode 💕
The microcontroller, a tiny but mighty chip, is at the heart of countless modern inventions
Area 51? That just brought back memories oh my goodness!
