This was interesting.
Acellus is the best
Just got home from spring break in Florida and wanted to catch up on the show!
We love watching weekly!
I like the Touch-me-not acts it remidens me of the Venus Flytrap
what coding language dose the Arduino uno speak
The hydrognen car was such a cool idea!
So much to learn, the hydrogen car is fascinating.
Really cool to see the Hydrogen Car again!
I am always learning something new and can’t wait to continue watching the science live videos. Happy Anniversary to the hydrogen car. One of the things I have noticed is how people use creativity and technology cooperate with one another to solve real-world problems.
The Science Lives are always so interesting!! I enjoy all of the stuff mentioned on here each time I have watched it the past few weeks.
this is my favorite episode
how long did it take the make the arduino
Happy anniversary to the hydrogen car! I like the name Billing’s Board, and I’m interested in a similar product in the Acellus Store.
The vegans are going lose it when they find out plants have intelligence.
Science Live is awesome!
microcontrolers are cool
Can’t wait for next week.
Yes Happy anniversary to the hydrogen car love it
The hydrogen car is very interesting 😁
OOH boy, another top contender for favorite science live episode. Keep up the great work there at the studio.
So much to learn
This is a great video. The Area 51 segment was funny as always and I like that R51 made something good!
The touch-me-nots is fascinating. I hope more info will come out about that
This was great!
happy anniversary!!
I disagree that AI is female! ; > HAHA
Coming in from Dayton Texas!
My favorite part of the science live was with David and Caleb!
HAHA Coming in from Texas
Thank you for the Science Live!
I think that it is so cool that Mr. Billings converted a Ford car into using hydrogen for his science project. I would like to see a hydrogen car in person.
I enjoy every chapter of science specially R-51 because R-51 rocks!!!!!
This was so cool
I loved this!!
HI, from Texas, Jerrik here. I LOVE SCIENCE LIVE!!!!!
Science live is always fun to watch! thanks, Dr. B! ; )
It is always interesting to learn more about nature and plants.
I love learning about a microcontroller.
happy birthday to the hydrogen car but i would like to know more about it!!!
I learned so much more new things! Glad to welcome back the Hydrogen Car!!!
This episode was great! Hello from Texas.
I learned so much from this interesting video I really like Acellus keep doing science life
Love this science live, never did me wrong and helps me learn new things!
The claw grabber machine was cool.
Acellus is so fun!
This was the first time I’ve heard of a micro controller and found this video very interesting!
Honestly I like Science LIVE quite a bit can’t wait for next Episode
The hydrogen car is very cool and interesting to learn about!
I used to have a plant that would close up.
Wait! I want to do this. Where can I get these kind of tech?
Yes please, I would like to be able to buy the R board from the store. I enjoyed learning about how smart plants are, it reminded me of my guinea pigs, and how they wait for there treats at exactly 12:00.
hello from Indiana!! The Hydrogen car is so awesome!!
This is fun and education, all at the same time. Great video!!!
The hydrogen car is so cool to learn about!
hello from montana I love watching these every week
Amazing science live once again! Excited for next week’s!
I loved the explanation about Pre-Calculus! 🙌🏻 This was such an interesting live. Thank you, Acellus!
Are you gonna use hydrogen as a power source for houses
(okay i did not think that worked guess the bug is fixed) my real comment is this, R51.. did something…. smart…. okay either the worlds ending or Mr. Billings has finally fixed R51
also to the protege’s great job i loved it it was perfect
Are you ever gonna start working on the solar powered car?
Wow! I loved this episode! I loved the plot twist in the activity where the piggies won! It was a super fun watch. And yay to the Hydrogen Car Anniversary!
Yes to the RB board or whatever you would like to name it…I would buy it! Also, Dr. John is the best- I love learning from him!
I love to learn about hydrogen cars
Great information as always!
Hello from TN!!!! I enjoyed the video keep it up!
Happy anniversary hydrogen car
Happy Anniversary to the Hydrogen car!
The way the microcontroller works is cool to me and can’t wait to come back next week for another episode!
I think the board should be named bilings board
I never knew about Massimo Banzi until now thank you for teaching me!
I think the R-Board would be an excellent name for it, and i would definitely buy it from the Acellus Store!
I think one name for your board Dr. Billings is RnB Board.
hiii!!! The hydrogen car is amazing!! and im really interested in the new item in the Acellus store.
i loveeee the hydrogen car its soooo cool!
The Hydrogen Car is so interesting!
Amazing episode this week guys!
Happy anniversary to the Hydrogen Car!!🎉
Can’t wait for next week!! 🙂
Hi Oona here . HAPPY 60TH !!!!!!!
I love science live
The school that Massimo Banzi taught at sounds really cool! I like how he helped them build a board so they could make their projects.
Can you program a microcontroller to control something like lights or a game?
The plants are really fascinating. I have touched moving plants before, and it’s super cool! Nice episode!
The hydrogen car is cool! And Ive seen a touch me not plant om vacation when I was younger. To see it here and learn about it in a science way is so interesting
I did not know that mimosa plants can close up when you touch them.😁
How do microcontrollers handle multiple inputs at once without slowing down?
It will be cool to see hydrogen cars normalized!
Hello hello hello!
Graduating soon, but I’m gonna miss this place
Hello from Texas!!
What’s one real-life example where microcontrollers are used to help people daily?
Either R Board or Billing’s Board would be a good name for the microcontroller.
How did I not know this about the Hydrogen car?!?
It’s so crazy that plants develop muscles in there stem so if a herbavoir trys to eat it it’s closes up.
That was so fun❤️🔥😍💖
Thank you, from nevada
Very interesting to see the 555 computer turn the light bulb on and off with the sensitivity.
Yes please make it so that we can buy an arduino with gold.
Happy anniversary to the hydrogen car! I like the name Billing’s Board, and I’m interested in a similar product in the Acellus Store.
I enjoy learning on Science Live very much!
I learned so much today! The hydrogen car is truly awesome. Can’t wait to come back for next week’s episode🙂
I think the way the mircocontroller works is very interesting.
me too
Massimo Banzi is a teacher and engineer from Italy. He helped create Arduino so students could easily build electronics projects. He made it to help students learn how to make things like simple robots and smart devices in class.
I love how interesting it was to watch. My favorite parts were when the plant could open and close if you touch it, another thing I like is when they were seeing how long it could take to get to the Lego people, and the last one is the board thing that you can do lots of different cool things!!
Its very intresting how the Touch-me-not acts like the Venus Flytrap in the way its able to close
Really cool to see the Hydrogen Car again! Such an interesting innovation you created!
R-51 is so cool
Acellus is the best!!
happy anniversary to your hydrogen car! its so cool!!
That calculus class look interesting. I want to look at It more.
The world will fall apart! R-51 did something useful!
don’t go Dr John!!!!!!!!!!!
I really appreciated Pat Mara’s in depth explanation of Pre-Calculous, I am excited to be able to learn how to find the volume of Irregular shapes!
haha I would love to see a hydrogen car above the Acellus Headquarters!
This episode on inventioneering with microcontrollers was really inspiring! It showed how creativity and technology can come together to solve real-world problems. I especially liked how it made building and programming seem approachable, even for beginnersThis episode on inventioneering with microcontrollers was really inspiring!

Thanks for another AMAZING Science Live!
All plants have cells. That plant closing when touched is cool.
Science live is always a highlight of my week! I love learning and r51!
This science live was so cool and funny we will miss you Dr. John!!!
Acellus is the best!!
it would be nice to visit to see a hydrogen car.
Dr. Tobias is so funny!!!! 🤣 He is my favorite!
Science live is my favorite part of my week because I learn so much thank you!
Patrick Mara is so cool.
Great class Roger Billings.
Lets do it! If i were to name it, i would agree with R board!
Acellus is so amazing, NEVER EVER going to stop this program!
I think its interesting how the Mimosa Pudica plant curls up to protect itself from herbivores.
happy anniversary to your hydrogen car also liked when Dr. Tobias talked about the micro controller it truly is a innovation for computing and technology. Thanks for this science live i enjoyed it all the same like the other ones!
The plant reminds me of the Venus fly trap. It it very cool.
Canadian Bacon!!!😆😆😆. Iove the battery that shows the education level, it’s so interesting and funny!
It is very inspirational hearing about all of Roger Billings inventions.
I was very excited to hear Dr. John talking about the Mimosa pudica (touch-me-not plant) – they are my favorite!
This was an excellent episode; I really enjoyed it! Dr. Tobias is so hilarious and very educational to watch! I loved learning about microcontroller and how they used it! Also, the Proteges are so funny and I love watching them each week!
Acellus is the best online school ever!!
I can’t wait for Aculles’s 60th anniversary! A HYDERO CAR is gonna make a appearance and im looking forward to it.
Does the Venus fly trap close for the same reason as the Mimosa Utica?
I enjoyed watching this with my brother
Science Live makes Wednesdays the best!
ACELLUS IS AWESOME!
To be able to see a hydrogen car over at the Acellus headquarters would amazingly awesom
After watching the latest Science Lives I realized a lot of what I use in my daily life contains the structure of an Arduino. It’s really informative and eye-opening. Thank you Science Live and Roger Billings for helping me understand this. Also Mr. Patrick!! I took his geometry class and looking at him now almost brings a tear to my eye, he’s always taught lessons in a clear and concise way and I will always appreciate him for that. We love you Mr. Patrick!
great video. I enjoyed learning about the circuit and my favorite quote was ‘the only thing holding you back is your creativity.’
I think R-board is a great name, and would be a best seller in the shop.
I love my math teacher, Rebecca, because she’s very beautiful and teaches in a clear way.
We need a R 51 cardboard cutout in the gold shop.
Congrats on the 60th anniversary of the Hydrogen car. Amazing.
Thank you acellus!!! Love watching the hydrogen car!
I liked the part about the touch me not plant.🌿
Happy anniversary to the Hydrogen Car! It is a very advanced for the time invention, and I can’t wait to see further updates in the future of this project. I hope to possibly see Hydrogen cars replace current cars more, it could very much decrease pollution!
Hard to believe its been 60 years since 1st hydrogen car’
I actually have Mimosa Pudica seeds! I tried growing a few but they never grew, I actually intend to try again because they are one of the most fascinating plants I’ve encountered. (Maybe aside from carnivorous plants such as the Venus Flytrap or the Pitcher Plant.)
the tickle-me plant is so interesting! nature truly is amazing!!
I enjoy the science live because dr Rodger billings is intresting. *
With plants being able to count days, would it apply to all plants and they just don’t show it reacting to the sunlight or is it this specific kind of plant?
My Grandparents have a bunch of “Touch Me Not” plants 😊
Microcontrollers are cool
That plant acts like my mom when the neighbor comes over.
hola from texas !!!! ☺️☺️☺️☺️
We would love to see the microcontroller in the gold store as well!
Banzi and his team’s Arduino board opened the door for unique coding projects for students and experienced coders alike.
These Videos always have so much education in them its insane!
The plant is super weird! Really impressive how it adapts and can almost predict things happening at certain times!
This was a great science live Acellus is awesome! Happy Hydroversary!
Chat GBT works 80% of the time! That’s good to know!
I like the 555 computer, it’s super cool.
Very interesting to know that Chat GBT works 80% of the time and that it’s not always correct!
My mom had a Touch Me Not plant when she was a kid.
Great Live today! The plant segment was great, I’ve heard of the carnivorous sundew plant but not that one. Can’t wait for the next one.
Hello from Iowa
DAVID is the best
That one plant is so fascinating!
Coming from New Jersey!!!
Awesome 😎
where’s Cody?
That’s cool how the microcontroller is a small computer.
Please add the arduino to the Acellus store.
I love the leson today!
Arduino yes. the name is the Billings bord
This science live was amazing !
I loved this week’s video. Can’t wait for next weeks.
