Kids’ Science Inspiring the Genius in Every Young Person
Come on a kids’ science adventure by following the multidisciplinary approach of Renaissance polymath and genius Leonardo da Vinci. With more than 30 STEAM projects to make and explore, young scientists blend art and science with technology, engineering, and math. Quotes and photos from Leonardo’s own notebooks, paintings, and drawings give inspiration and perspective.
More than 500 years ago, Leonardo realized that science, technology, engineering, art + design, and mathematics (STEAM) are connected. He examined not only the outer appearance of his art subjects, but the science behind them. He began as a painter, but his unstoppable curiosity and love of his work led him to become a master sculptor, architect, designer, scientist, engineer, and inventor.
Leonardo’s Science Workshop shares this spirit of multidisciplinary inquiry and invention with young people through accessible, engaging explanations and hands-on learning that inspire the genius in every young person.
