Really cool episode today, HI from Texas! Happy aniversary to the hydrogen car!!
Acellus is the greatest!!!!
Loved learning about the mechanic arm! So awesome!
Bonjour de la France! J’aime le science en direct!
I love Acellus!!
Hi from Georgia! I liked today’s live!
I liked r 51. Learning that plants can kind of talk was cool. Loved Area 51.
Hello from Delaware
Hi from Kentucky <3
I really hope Dr. John can live broadcast next week!
I like Acellus so much and I cannot wait for next year
Acellus is the best!
How easy is it to actually code an Arduino board?
To be able to see a hydrogen car over at the Acellus headquarters would amazingly awesome
Patrick Mara is such an awesome teacher!
I’m great full for Dr. John šššš
I always enjoy science live <333
I loved seeing the headquarters!
Nice Live
One of those microcontrollers would be nice to have and build things with it so I think it should be in accelus store
I think that R-15 is super cool. I liked that he made the light turn on when he got close.
I love learning new things with Acellus every week!
The intro sequence is always PEAK
I think the reason that the plants new is because they are counting the time.
Very fun science live! the whole skit with the LEGOs and the education meter was really funny.
R-51 will always make me laugh.
I thought Dr. Johnās speech about the plants was really facinating! I also thought that the Inventioneerās and the Protogeās little video was entertaining to watch.
i always learn so much from these videos!
The stuff with AI is just funny to me.
I think that it would be amazing if we had the arduino in the store.
So COOL! Is there any chance us, students, can have a class on the different projects that a microcontroller, such as an Arduino? š š š
Hello from Utah!
This, is going to be so much fun at Acellus World.
I really enjoyed this episode. I can’t wait for the next one!
I would love to come to Acellus world even though it would take a long time to get there. Also, I still think Area 51 is funny, because of all his jokes.
Happy anniversary to the hydrogen car!!!
Happy 60th anniversary. Looking forward to seeing the hydrogen car!
Hi from Florida
I love this episode, itās so great. Thank you.
Happy anniversary to the hydrogen car!! I loved this weeks episode.
Acellus is so so so much fun!!
I hope that one day we can all drive hydrogen cars.
To be able to see the worlds first Hydrogen car at Acellus headquarterš¤© COUNT ME IN!!!
We should put the Microcontroller in the Gold store!
And the robotic arm.š
The video of the plant closing itself was pretty cool! See you next week.
I LOVED THIS EPISODE SO MUCH!
It was so cool to see how they used the Arduino.
How small and compact can microcontrollers be?
Hello from Nicaragua!! š³š®
This was so fun to watch! Thank you for science lives!
Sciencd Live was really good today.
A micro controller project board would be an outstanding addition for the Acellus store!!!
I wish I could invent something like this
Georgia from Texas and yes I live science
Yes to the micro controller, I was thinking R-dwino
It was interesting to see coding used in real life.
The robot was so cool. I wonder how you get one are because theyāre like amazing
the inventioneers are so chaotic lollll
Hello, lust want to say that science live is amazing and I really enjoy watching it. Keep it up āļøš
It would be pretty neat to see the first hydrogen car in person.
Great episode as always! Thank you Dr. Roger Billings!
My new favorite episode ever
That is interesting how the sky is the limit on the Arduino board.
i have a suggestion for the board. We could call it “Billings board” and i feel like for if you were to market it, it would be a catchy name with good marketing.
I Love to learn more about Microcontroller.
This science live was soooo good! I love it so much! MEEEEEEEEEE
I liked learning about the plants.
I would love to see a microcontroller in the gold store, and a hydrogen experiment!
You guys are amazing and really fun! I love Acellus!
Hello from Massachusetts š
Hi from GA
Me! More science and space classes on Acellus!
I bet that was a lot of fun going to good morning america
Can other plants unfold their leaves when you touch them like the Touch-me-not plant?
Hello Acellus family from Italy. It was very interesting to learn more about the Arduino. This episode was very fun and funny. I loved to learn about the Microcontroller. Thank you very much. š
Hi from Texas!
That touch-me-not plant is fascinating. Hope it helps with the study of the human brain.
Wow the AI study is cool
i would like more on microcontrollers
Wow! its amazing how plants can distribute behaviors like that! I’m excited to learn more.
When will it come out, and you should call it Acellus Microboard
Thatās so interesting about the touch me not plant
I want to get a robot arm now.
AWESOME EPISODE ššš
Yes you guys should name it the Acellus boaRd
So excited for the new course! Looking forward to exploring Calculus!
I love science live and i canāt wait to see what we are learning next week.
I really enjoyed this live. And a fun fact about microcontrollers is that theyāre most likely all over your house!!
Cool plant at the beginning.
Science live is the best
SCIENCE LIVE IS SO GREAT!
Would love to see the security convention Dr. John plans to attend.
Touch-Me-Not plant is so cool.
I LOVE ACELLUS!!!!!
Are there any other plants that are like the touch me not plant?
The way they built the robot was so cool.
Microcontroller’s are so cool!
Hello from Indiana
Loved this episode of Science Live!
Incredible. Watching from Louisiana.
I loved watching this video!
I would love to do it, and every THURSDAY we watch science live which I love so much in the hole world! I would love seeing more of science live because I want to see more of science live and about circuits that I would love to learn and make.
I love science live and I canāt wait to see what we are learning next week .
love the videoss keep it up !!
I would love to invent something with an ardreno.
Hi Acellus family! I am really exited to see the broadcast for Acellus world. Thank you Dr. Roger Billings. š
Hi from Texas.
I think putting a micro controller in the store would be a great idea!!
Good luck Dr. John!
Would love to see the hydrogen car at Acellus headquarters
What other plants can do coold things?
Amazing episode!! truly enjoyed
My mom would love the machine for her kitchen cans that Dr Billings would like to invent. Pretty neat idea to come up with.
WONDERFUL EPISODE! I LOVED IT!
Acellus is the best!!
I love when R-51 invented the lightbulb! Great show as always.
Hi! from Indiana! great science live!
yes we need a micro board but definitely much bigger!
How come there are only a few plants that are able to move?
1. The leaf looked soft, with soft spikes and every time something touched it, it would fold in.
2. R.51 made a light bulb with a microprocessor that when someone walkes in the room the light would come on.
3. Dr. Roger Billing made a hydrogen car.
I thought this live was good and funny with Italian accent
Honestly lets do it!!
What is the microcontroller?
i always wanted to build a computer/ laptop
Acellus is so much fun!
Comment āI call it my brainā, has to be the best line ever.
Hi from Kentucky
I enjoyed this science live and look forward to Acellus World, especially the part about the hydrogen car.
I’m excited for the new course!
We love Science Live!
This Science Live was Fun and Interesting!
Thank you for this! I love the science lives and learning new things.
Science Live often makes me wish I lived closer to Acellus headquarters. Maybe you could take Science Live on tour!
I love how passionate Patrick Mara is about math. It is so amazing and impressive that he has received awards from the president and disneyland. Calcus is hard and I am excited to see him teaching this course.
I love Science Live!!!
Acellus is the best.
These videos are so entertaining!
Looking forward to another episode!!š
How do you decide which microcontroller is best for a specific invention?
Acellus rocks
I like the term inventioneering and how you use it to make inventing seem like a more fun process rather than some far off destination.
Comment coming from Texas! Howdy!š¤
I think a microcontroller would be a great addition to the gold store!
Hello from Texas! This is always fun to watch!
Hi from kansas
So excited for Acellus world
I like the Lego tower test.
What would happen to the 555 if you put too much power through it at once?
I think that R 51 was silly again. I also liked what the protogees did this time, but I also liked what they did last time where they were Sherlock Holmes and Watson. the protogees this time why did they do a competition it was funny watching the building’s get destroyed.
Acellus is amazing
A hydrogen car sounds cool I would like to see it in person.
The touch me not plant is very neat.
I love learning about science!
I bet the hydrogen car would look great!
learning about why plants are green and seeing how the microcontroller was interesting.
wow hydrogen cars are so awesome!!!!!
I never knew plants could count and them touch me not plants is cool that they close up when something touches it.
I think one of the coolest things was when Dr. John talked about the plants that can count.
This is awesome š
hello, coming in from Kentucky!
the touch me not plant is so cool.
Itās cool that there are plants that have censors that when touched they hide I wonder if there are any more plants like that.
I like that you open with jokes. They are funny.
The Arduino is such an interesting topic.
I learned that I can make light bulb light up when I walk in the room
It would be cool to see the hydrogen car.
How does the Don’t Touch Me plant close it’s leaves when it is touched?
Science live is the best!!!
I love science live! Its always so interesting!
Amazing this was epic I love this science live !
Hydrogen home sounds cool!
The proteges part is allways fun. See you next time.
Hello from Texas!!!!
So much good information given every week.
How many Arduinos are in a computer?
The Micro controller is actually really cool and it’s so simple to.
