Get up close and personal with Galileo, who had a real “flare” for stargazing, and Darwin, who sailed halfway around the world just to play with finches. Get ready to bust the myth that scientists and inventors are all stodgy, lab-coat-wearing folks. Meet Ada Lovelace, the world’s first computer programmer, who, sorry to break it to you, wasn’t a bespectacled old man but a Victorian-age lady. Swoop down into the world of Alexander Graham Bell, where phones had cords and you couldn’t ghost anyone. Not to forget, Johannes Gutenberg, the bad boy of the Middle Ages, who got everyone hooked on reading, whether they liked it or not. Dive headfirst into the weird and wonderful world of Marie Curie, a woman so determined that she discovered radium, won not one but two Nobel Prizes, and still had time to raise a family. Can you say ‘Work-Life balance’? And we can’t forget Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla, the original tech bros, whose rivalry could give modern Silicon Valley a run for its money.
