This program will be delivered via Zoom and will be streamed to our Kingsley Room. If you want to watch the program from home, register here.

 Although Leonardo da Vinci may be most famous for his art masterpieces like “Mona Lisa,” he actually spent more time working on his scientific and technological studies. His remarkable sketchbooks have provided copious evidence that da Vinci envisioned many inventions long before the technology to create them existed.   A true visionary and one of the most prolific inventors in history, Leonardo da Vinci created inventions and innovations that are taken for granted today.  Whether designing flying machines or weapons of war, da Vinci the inventor and artist was always willing to “think outside the box” and "dream big.”
