Alongside the biographies of these men, the contributions of women and non-Europeans, who have been historically marginalized and ignored, are highlighted and explored in a way that represents the true diversity of the Renaissance world. With 10 hands-on projects that use the engineering design process, kids create their own versions of many amazing inventions from the Renaissance.
