An educational podcast for children in which we travel back in time to the 4th century AD, to the city of Alexandria, to meet one of the most brilliant minds of antiquity: Hypatia. In this episode of “History Has a Voice,” we will set our time machine to the year 400 to chat with the first female mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher for whom we have detailed records.

Hypatia was an exceptional teacher who, thanks to the teachings of her father Theon, broke with the norms of her time. While other girls had little access to education, she mastered geometry, algebra, and astronomy and eventually became the leader of the “Alexandrian Neoplatonists."" She always defended the use of observation and reason over superstition.

In an Alexandria filled with the aromas of papyrus and spices, but also religious tensions, Hypatia perfected incredible instruments. She will explain what an astrolabe (a map of the stars) is and what an armillary sphere is used for, demonstrating that scientific curiosity has no gender.

In this episode, we will discover how her philosophy classes worked, how she improved the design of astronomical tools, and the important legacy of tolerance she left us after her tragic end. An inspiring journey to understand that science is an adventure for everyone.

A very useful and interesting resource for children. It is perfect for introducing the Ancient Age in primary education, encouraging scientific pursuits (STEM), and working on values such as gender equality and critical thinking.
