Where the drawings of the Codices become play, and play becomes discovery
The WLeonardo! educational workshop is an exclusive service of our museum, dedicated entirely to the mechanics and physics of Leonardo da Vinci. Here, the drawings from the Codices leap off the page and become objects to touch, wheels to turn, levers to operate with your own hands.
Not just a simple visit, but an interactive educational journey designed for families, children, and schools of every level.
Our journeys turn the pages of the Codices into a true game that, at the same time, becomes learning. Through interactivity, the youngest visitors discover the basic mechanisms of physics, engineering, and mechanics.
Every workshop is designed to draw out the future scientists' first, genuine "Eureka!"
Playing in the workshops and in the museum, children discover the geometric shapes and simple machines of Leonardo da Vinci.
Four mechanisms, six centuries of ingenuity: the lever, the pulley, the inclined plane, and the screw are the building blocks with which Leonardo built his machines. And the youngest visitors discover them with their own hands.
A fulcrum, a force, a load: the first principle of mechanics.
A wheel, a rope: lifting weights with half the effort.
The same height, less effort: the secret of Leonardo's ramps.
An inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder: infinite precision.
The museum offers services and educational programs tailored for families, children, and schools of every level. The WLeonardo! workshops can also become the heart of a special event, such as a birthday party at the museum centered around discovery.
Book your workshop and let the little ones get their hands on the mechanisms that changed the history of engineering.
