N2  - In The Renaissance Inventors with History Projects for Kids, readers explore the period of European history from the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries while focusing on the biographies of five inventors from that time and the creations they gave to the world, including Johannes Gutenberg, Leon Battista Alberti, Leonardo da Vinci, gerardus Mercator, and Galileo Galilei. 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. Fun facts, primary source illustrations, and links to online resources promote critical and creative thinking skills. Even without a time machine, learners can experience the Renaissance!
