I LEARNED THAT THE DONT TOUCH ME PLANT WILL CLOSE ITS LEAVES IF YOU TOUCH IT
I love Acellus! It is the best.
That would be really cool if it was in the store.
Is it possible to make an Arduino play Uno?
Yeesss!!!!! Howdy from Texas!!
My favorite part of the episode was the lego building!
R-51 makes the episode!
I love this show!
Here from Missouri! and its great to be here! Love science live and love every episode.
Also a huge fan of R-51. 🙂
I love Science Live. This episode was great.
The Lego building was extremely entertaining!
By far my favorite Live…. Thank you
It would be cool to see a hydrogen fuel car.
I ❤️ science live
Another week, another great video. Thank you for your hard work!
The microcontroller is so cool, I wonder if they are used in vr headsets?
Yesssss I love science live I enjoy it sooooooo much🥹😄😎😄✌️👩🏻🦰
The Arduino is verry interesting.
Those plants remind me of the fly trap plants!
This was a great video. Thank you guys so much for making this. Yall are so fun!
It’s pretty cool that a tiny microcontroller can control so many things! (Happy anniversary to the car!!)
Loved this episode, it was awesome!
I’m from Africa, really nice to see science live
How do I make a Microcontroller?
This was a really interesting episode of Science Live.
Is there anything you can’t make with a microcontroller?
It would be great if Dr. John could broadcast from San
Francisco next week.
I love the live and I love the little Canadian Pig.
The claw was so cool!!!
how can i build a microcontroller?
Happy anniversary to the car!
Science live is awesome!
I liked the protege video. It was funny.
I loved the part with the pigs on it!
Hello from Virginia!
MICROCRONTROLLERS ARE SO COOL! STAY SILLY R51!
I thought it was cool how coding can control things like lights and movement. Makes me think of the advancement of technology these days, especially with AI, and how that is effecting the entertainment industry. Really neat stuff! Thank you, Acellus, for sharing!! 🙂
How about you call it the IHC imagine, hypothesis, and create!
I liked when you touch the plant it starts to close up.
It is very interesting how microcontroller read data from sensors and control outputs like motors,
Fantastic lesson for the week!
Really enjoyed this science live and cannot wait until the next!
Happy Spring Break!
I love Acellus
Acellus Is the best!!!
I loved everything in this science live
LOVE tuning in!
I love science live! I always learn something new!
thanks Dr. Billings!
At first, I was skeptical about plants counting. But actually, the Touch-Me-Not plants are pretty smart! It’s really cool! The name also reminds me of Forget-Me-Nots. The Arduino creations were also really cool! Also, was anyone else multitasking by keeping an eye on the battery in the top right corner of the screen constantly going up and down in battery percentage as the perspectives changed? It was a cool detail I noticed!
I love science live so much!
hi from Arkansas! 💕🤠
Hello from Mississippi! Loved this science live.
Fantastic Science Live!
Hello from Maine!
I thought this was funny with the sound effects and all the memes I was hearing it was fun to watch this
Happy 60th anniversary to the hydrogen car!!!
I loved this weeks science live!
I love the protégés can’t wait to see what they come up with next week!!!
Can’t wait to see the car.
The hydrogen car is awesome!
That’s exciting, happy anniversary!
What is the gold key alliance?
how the plants close when touched is cool!
I liked learning about how they made their microcontroller into the board.
Having the Arduino in the Gold Store is the best idea since Apollo 11.
I love all the learning processes!
Thank you Dr. John!! This was cool.
My name is Lexi and i want to say I love the science live videos!
Love looking forward to Acellus! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
Microcontroller? Is it like a mini controller? LOL XD
I loved the Lego part it was so funny.
Hi from New Jersey!
The plant response was cool!
I think Science Live always has intersting topics i love it!!
Happy Birthday hydrogen car
That ChatGPT study is interesting to know.
The plants reminded me of the plants from Avatar!!
I love your videos!!!😍
My name is timothy and I think it would be super cool to get an episode about the first hydrogen car if possible?
You should name the board the mega board 3,000
hello from Illinois!
I would really like it if you add a coding board to the acellus shop.
Today on Sciencelive, I learned that researches at Washington University did a study on Chatgpt and they were asking some true/false questions and got it right 80% of the time.
Hi from washington
Lets do this Texas style
cool episode!! hi from south carolina!
If the Microcontroller is able to move certain things with different wavelength pulses, then could it be able to be used to turn lights on by whistling?
This week’s video was interesting when Dr. John spoke about the “touch me not” plant that closes when you touch it. It seems like it came from a science fiction movie. Additionally, I believe you should put the Arduino in the Acellus Store, it would be entertaining to understand how it works.
Hello from NY!!
Do you think microcontrollers will become less important, or even more essential as technology advances?
Acellus is amazing!
Hi from Tennessee
Will you have a class that teaches the basics language?
I think the pre-calculus class would be fun!!
Thanks you guys for this awesome episode!
I Have 11 days untill i have a 100 day learning streek!!!!!!!!
Love the proteges Thank you for this scince live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Programming stuff using just a chip is insanely incredible!
thank you science live it was SO SO fun
Ohhhh yeaaaaa scienceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I love u billings
Hello from Tennessee. I love Science Live!
The robot was very entertaining to watch.
Thank you ! Dr billings is the smartest !
R51 is soo funny
Can’t wait for the new math class! Hope everyone is doing well at Acellus!
I like Chemistry! 🧪🔬🥼
Today I learned so much things. New studies in science with Dr. John, with Tobias a new breakthrough in science, during history, and Roger Billings along with the protogeys a very neat way to use a microcontroller and explore our imagination to invent new other manners as well. I agree totally with having a microcontroller at the gold store and I think it will be a flame of inspiration to many start to create other inventions.
Thnak you very much!
The don’t touch me plant was so cool !
Hello from Georgia!
I learned that I can make a light bulb sense me when I walk in the room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳😜😜😜😜😜😜😜🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️
What made you think of the term “inventioneering”?
I like the the robot claw it was a really cool and also I’m excited for the next one😁
Science live is so awsome.🧪🦠🦠
Acellus is the best! I’m learning so much!
I would LOVE to see a hydrogen car happy anniversary go BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello from Ohio
I watched Science Live!
It’s cool that they were able to create an easier way to form a prototype without going bankrupt hundreds of dollars. It’s also cool how the board was only 30 dollars and was able to connect so many pieces to work together and create a bigger project. What’s really interesting is that it was so affordable that it was able to be used at fairs for kids with big imaginations to see their sketch be realistic.
I love how Massimo Banzi created something and everyone else took his idea and created their own.
The Protege’s part is so GenZ I love it XD Keep it up, this is awesome.
Omg it is episode 302
This is cool info i like the automatic light at the end
I like learning about inventioneering.
the touch me not plant is cool because it protects it’s self from predators!
What’s the longest living plant in the world?
Science Live videos are amazing.
I enjoyed learning how to program the claw.
Hi all the way from montana.
A laboratory is now in my brain too
Acellus is awsome!
why is this so entertaining
I want an R51
i love the part when said i’m batman
Another fun episode, every week I’m reminded how funny R-51 is.
I LOVE Science Live.
who made ai? How does it work?
I woled like for the Arduino in the shop.
I strongly recommend the esp32-p4 for the microcontroller board as its pretty new and is one of the most powerful microcontrollers thats still a microcontroller
Science live is my FAVORITE!!!!
Calculus sounds cool with how you can find the area of anything!
Acellus is the best
I love Patrick Merra; he is so clear and concise with his lessons.
This live was so fun today!
You guys are amazing!!!
Math is so hard for me, I try so hard but its so hard.
ACELLUS IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That counting plant was really interesting!
Today on Science live, I learned Researchers did a study on Chatgpt and asked it true/false questions and it only got 80% of the questions right.
Back at it again great video! From South Dakota!
i want to see the hydrogen car
Thanks for giving use the time to join the lives and watch.
Seeing they hydrogen car would be so exciting!!
Always an enjoyable time to watch Science Live, really enjoyed specifically Dr. John’s portion with the movable plants.
Helloooo from NY 😀
I enjoyed the part about the closeing and opening up plant.
R51 is my favorite!
Loved learning how plants “count”
I love Acellus live science it’s so cool! So intriguing to learn how technology is created and the process, I learn so much!
That Touch-Me-Not plant is really neat! Can’t wait to see what else they find out about that plant!
I would love to study on chad gpt
Love it! Acellus is fun
I like learning about the Arduino micro controller!
So the Arduino system is completely accessible to everyone with access to the internet so they can make their own accessories?
Amazing Science Live! Can’t wait for the next one!
😱❤️😱❤️😱❤️😱❤️😱❤️
I LOVE these science video😁😁
That’s so cool! i didn’t know plants can do math!
The robot arm destroying the houses was my favorite part!
The microcontroller was so cool!
howdy howdy from virginia
Comment The arduino is such an incredible invention!
I also really like those plants that retract their leaves when when they get touched.
Happy anniversary to your hydrogen car! its cool to see the 555 turn the light on and off due to sensitivity.
Will you make a course about micro chips and circuits?
I liked learning about the plant that moves when you touch it.
The microcontroller and how it was used were interesting to learn about!
