The Life of Scientific Visionary Stephen Hawking

During the 1950s, Stephen Hawking attends St Albans School in Hertfordshire after his family moves there from Oxford. He is not immediately seen as an exceptional student, but teachers notice his curiosity and independent thinking. He shows particular interest in mathematics and science.

At home, he builds model airplanes and tinkers with mechanical devices. With friends, he constructs a basic computer from spare parts, demonstrating early problem-solving skills. Though not always top of his class, he develops a reputation for deep thinking and quiet determination that sets him apart.
