The first recorded celebration of Easter was in the 2nd century, but it was probably celebrated even before that. In addition to its religious importance, Easter is also a popular secular festival, because of its association with the Easter bunny, colourful decorated eggs and of course all those chocolates and candies.

I am sure you would like to listen to her story.

Marie was born on on 7th November 1867, in Warsaw, Poland. Her childhood name was Maria Sklodowska. Her father was a teacher, but Marie did not attend school during the early years of her childhood. Later, when she joined school, Marie turned out to be a brilliant student. After school she wanted to attend university, but during those days University in Warsaw would not accept women. As during those times Poland was ruled by Russian military, and the laws were strict for females.

Marie and her sister Bronislawa made a plan, that Bronislawa would go to France to study medicine, while Marie would stay in Poland and work to support her sister’s education. Once Bronislawa became a doctor, Marie would go to France to attend University.

Marie worked as governess for some years to support Bronislawa education, and in 1891, at the age of 24, Marie moved to France to complete her studies. She earned Master’s degree in Physics in 1893, and was the top student in the class. In 1894, she won a second degree- this time in Chemistry.

Her hard work and determination made way to her dreams. In the University, she met Pierre, and they married later. They had two daughters, Irene and Eve. Being a mother, did not sway Marie from her goal to become a great scientist. She decided to work towards her PhD. At that time no woman had ever been awarded a PhD in Science in Europe.

For PhD, she decided to work on Uranium. It is a substance, and the rays coming out of this substance can pass through metal. Marie called such substances as radioactive. Marie and her husband Pierre worked together in a small shed of the research institute. In 1903 Marie became the first woman in Europe to earn a PhD. The same year, Marie and Pierre were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of Radioactivity.

After that Pierre became professor at the University of Paris. However, the world was still not very encouraging for woman during those times.

After the discovery of Radioactivity, Marie discovered Radium and Polonium, two radioactive substances. Polonium was named after Poland, Marie’s home country. Unfortunately, Pierre, was killed in a road accident in 1906. So, the University gave his position to Marie. And Marie became the first woman to be a professor at the University of Paris. Tell me why were Marie and Pierre awarded the Nobel Prize in 1903.

In 1911 Marie received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of Radium and Polonium. She was the first person to receive two Nobel Prizes and the only person in history to receive two Nobel prizes in two different subjects.

When the World War I, started in 1914, Marie created mobile X-ray trucks to help the surgeons treat wounded soldiers. It is estimated that over 1 million soldiers were treated with Marie’s X-ray units.

Later Marie raised money to build a research Institute. But slowly, she became increasingly sick. Long exposure to radioactive substances without any safety had damaged her body. She died on July 4th 1934. Marie’s research Institute, now called the Curie Institute is one of the leading medical research centres in the world.

Pip- Trivia Time- Did you know, the unit of measurement of Radioactivity is called “Curie”, named after Marie and Pierre Curie.

Hi Everyone,

I am Adit Arora, original creator of this website and YouTube channel MakeMeGenius of the same name.

I live in Gurugram, India and currently study in high school at Shri Ram School

Here is the story how this website and my channel came into existence.

Both my parents are working parents hence I had no-one to guide me for my home-work, I started taking help of the internet for the same.

It was in 2011 while exploring YouTube for videos on digestive system for my next day class-test, I could not find anything relevant for my age. I nearly panicked as I was absent from school when the lesson was taught and from I was unable to understand anything from my school-notes.

Somehow, I was able to clear my test, but after that I started taking note-making very seriously. My next subject in the school was human -respiratory-system. I took notes very diligently. To improve the notes , I started surfing YouTube. But again I could not find any video which would be relevant for a school kid like me. Then an idea struck me .I thought that I should start making videos to help other kids who’re struggling like me. I shared this idea with my parents who were very encouraging. My father really liked the idea and suggested that all the education videos should be like cartoon movies as kids love to watch cartoons.

One of my mother’s friend was in animation business. She used to produce cartoon animation videos for few TV channels. She motivated me to talk to her friend and that was start of my YouTube channel journey.

I wrote the first script and my mother improved it . And it was produced by my mother’s friend for fun sake.

In February 2011, I uploaded my first video on YouTube so that other kids could get benefit from it. But with in 3 months, we got lot of views on this and YouTube approached me to make more videos like this.

My friends also liked the video. With my parents support and my friends encouragement helped me to take this work as a hobby. I made it a habit to take notes of all the science subjects being taught in my class . I would discuss my notes with my mother and friends to make a better script.

For last 7 years, I have been making videos on science subjects for the kids of my age. Initially the videos production was funded by my parents but with-in one year, I started getting enough revenue from YouTube to cover the production cost.

At the age of 15 his parents went to Italy to work, leaving him in Munich, to complete his studies. It was then, that Einstein became more interested in knowing why things worked the way they worked. Einstein had mastered Calculus on his own at the age of 15, however he was never a student who would follow rules. He skipped classes to spend more time in lab. In class the professors thought he would never achieve big in life.

He failed the entrance exam at University of Zurich, but got accepted the next year. In the University he met Mileva, the only woman in his class. Einstein eventually married Mileva and had two sons with her. In the year 1900 Albert Einstein was a 21-year-old graduate at the Swiss Federal Polytechnique and desperately looking for a job, but was not given a chance even for the position of a lab assistant, so he decided to sell insurance.

Later, his friends got him a job of a patent officer at the Swiss Patent Office, not a glamorous job for sure.

With his newfound job at the swiss patent office he could spare enough time to discuss latest work in Physics with his close friends. Those discussions led him to produce minor research papers, but the miracle year was yet to come.

The year 1905 is considered as the miracle year for Einstein, when he published 4 papers of unrelated topics and each of these papers dramatically transformed the way the world started looking at time, space, relativity and the enigmatic universe.

In March 1905 when Einstein published his paper on Photoelectric effect.

May 1905 saw the release of Einstein’s second paper, tackling the centuries old debate of whether atoms actually existed.

His 3rd article, on theory of special relativity came in Jun 1905. In his 4th paper that came in September 1905 Einstein stated the equation, E=mc2 the most famous and consequential equation in the history.

But the scientific community was still silent, until his papers fell into the hands of Max Planc, another great Physicist. Gradually his work was being noticed by the scientific community, as a result, he was offered the position of a scientist at the University of Zurich. The 32-year-old patent clerk finally became Professor Albert Einstein.

Einstein had a great sense of humour and loved talking to people. Often when he was stuck with any problem in Physics, he would play violin.

Later Einstein also propounded the famous theory of relativity. But he had to wait for about ten years, until he could prove his general theory of relativity.

During the same time his marriage fell apart, and he divorced his wife Mileva to marry his cousin Elsa. In 1915 he discovered the field equation of gravity, which explained how gravity is a result of the distortion of space-time. This theory also predicted the existence of gravitational waves, which was discovered only recently in February, 2016.

Finally, in the year 1919 his general theory of relativity was confirmed by measuring the bending of starlight during a solar eclipse and then Einstein became a celebrity.

Einstein won the Nobel Prize for explaining the Photoelectric Effect in the year 1921.

People who are passionate about their work, don’t wait for recognition. It’s the excellence in work that they strive for, not recognition. And patience is not an easy bee to keep, but the honey it makes it the best.

Raksha Bandhan comprises of two hindi words, Raksha, means protection and bandhan means bond. So Raksha bandhan is a bond of protection, and Rakhi is its symbol. Just like you tie a friendship band on your friend’s wrist to show your love.

La Tomatina is considered the World’s Biggest Food Fight with about 40,000 participants. For the festival, tomatoes are specially grown in Extremadura, a beautiful tourist destination situated 570 km away from Bunol. Amazing facts, Quiz and Video on La Tomatina

After high school, Jobs went to Reed College, to study liberal arts, however he dropped out of college after the 1st semester. Jobs came across the most intelligent people in computing, when he joined the Homebrew Computer Club. Wozniak had made the computer with typewriter like keyboard and the ability to connect with a TV.

In April, 1976, when Jobs was just 21, he and Wozniak started Apple Computer in the Jobs’ family garage. Jobs sold his Volkswagen bus and Wozniak sold his beloved scientific calculator. Jobs also convinced Ronald Wayne to invest some money and have a share in the company. But Wayne left the company very soon.

Jobs and Wozniak were two passionate people who completely changed the computer industry with Apple. They wanted to make the computer technology available for all through smaller machines that were cheaper, intuitive and accessible to everyday consumers.

The Apple I computer was created in Job’s garage. And in next three years came Apple II, a computer that supported colour, and brought a big change in the world of computers and was a highly successful personal computer. Jobs wanted to build a powerful business computer called Lisa. The idea of Lisa was given by Jobs.

As the company started doing great, Jobs brought John Sculley, as the CEO of Apple. On Jan 24, 1984, Steve Jobs introduced Macintosh. However, Jobs was made responsible for some business failures of the company, and he resigned from Apple in September 1985. When he resigned, sold all the shares of the Apple Company, keeping just one share with him.

Jobs used the money and founded another Computer company by the name NeXT. In 1986, Jobs purchased another company, Pixar Animation Studios. Later the studio produced wildly popular movies such as Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and The Incredibles. NeXT was bought by Apple in 1996 for 429 million USD. And it brought Jobs back to Apple. In 1997, Jobs once again became the CEO of Apple.

Well, that was the next phase, and as said by Jobs, the “hardest – working days of his life”. In 1998, Jobs, introduced the iMac, a translucent design computer that became an instant hit and was bought by many people. One of the greatest things about Jobs was that his ideas had no end. In October 2001, Jobs introduced, the world’s first digital music player- the iPOD. And in April 2003, he launched the iTunes Music Store. he was a strong man. Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2004, but that did not lessen his passion for work. Apple launched first iPhone on June 29, 2007, which changed the industry of mobile phones. It was like a computer in hand.

Though everything was great at the Apple Company, Jobs health was not good. In 2010, Jobs announced the launch of iPad. The great man and visionary Steve Jobs died of cancer in 2011. But he changed the world.
