A long time ago, in a small town in Poland, a little girl named Marie Curie was born. From the very beginning, Marie was curious, brave, and loved learning. She dreamed of becoming a scientist, but there was a big problem—at that time, girls were not allowed to study in universities.
Did Marie give up? No! She worked harder than ever and became one of the greatest scientists in history!
The Girl Who Loved to Learn
Marie was fascinated by science and math. She secretly studied at a hidden school where girls were allowed to learn. Later, she moved to France, where she studied at one of the best universities in the world—but she had to work extra hard because she was a woman in a world of men.
She studied late at night, often with little food or warmth, but she never gave up on her dreams!
The Discovery That Changed the World!
Marie was fascinated by invisible energy coming from certain rocks. She believed there was something new and powerful hidden inside them.
Through years of hard work and experiments, Marie discovered two new elements—Radium and Polonium—which gave off energy. She called this energy radioactivity.
Her discovery helped:
🩺 Doctors treat cancer using radiation therapy.
💡 Scientists understand atoms and nuclear energy.
🚀 Future space exploration by studying cosmic radiation.
Her work was so incredible that she became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize—and later, she became the first person ever to win two Nobel Prizes in two different sciences!
A Scientist Who Helped People
During World War I, Marie Curie helped save thousands of lives by inventing portable X-ray machines for doctors to see inside the human body. She drove her own X-ray truck to battlefields, helping injured soldiers.
She didn’t just do science—she used it to make the world a better place!
The Lesson from Marie Curie’s Life
🔹 Never let anyone tell you what you cannot do!
🔹 Hard work and curiosity can change the world!
🔹 Use knowledge to help others!
Marie Curie proved that science is for everyone—boys and girls alike. Maybe one day, YOU will make a discovery that helps the world too! 🔬💡🚀✨
