On August 30, 1797, in London, Mary Shelley was born – the writer who, at just 18 years old, penned Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus. With this novel, she not only left an unforgettable mark on literature but also laid the foundation of modern science fiction – a genre that continues to merge science with creativity and spark the imagination of readers today.
How Did the Story Begin?
Mary Shelley was inspired by scientific experiments with electricity and by a simple yet powerful question:
👉 What if humans could create life?
Instead of relying on magic or mythology, she built her story on the scientific knowledge of her time. This bold decision to “weave” science into art made her a visionary and the pioneer of an entirely new literary genre.
Frankenstein – Where Science Meets Art
Through her work, Mary Shelley shared messages that remain relevant even now:
- Science is not just knowledge; it carries responsibility.
- Creativity holds the power to build new worlds.
- Young minds can inspire generations—if they are given the freedom to ask questions and explore ideas.
STEM: When Curiosity Meets Creativity
What Mary Shelley achieved in literature is closely connected to what we now call STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). She combined curiosity, scientific understanding, and imagination – the essence of STEM learning.
At IQ UP!, we follow the same philosophy:
- Children explore through hands-on experiments.
- They develop critical thinking and learn to see the “big picture.”
- They ask fearless questions.
- They use science as a tool for creativity and problem-solving.
This creates an environment where every child can become a “young visionary” – someone who drives science and society forward, just as Mary Shelley reshaped the world of literature.
Creativity as the Engine of the Future
Mary Shelley’s birthday is not just a reminder of a great literary work but also proof that curiosity and courage to explore new ideas can change history.
At IQ UP!, every child has the opportunity to awaken their creativity and curiosity.
Perhaps the next visionary who will shape the future is already here—just as Mary Shelley once transformed the world of storytelling.
