S.T.E.A.M. Adventure: Grades 4–6
Week 4: July 6 – July 10 | 9 AM – 2 PM
The Renaissance: The Da Vinci Code Red
The Crisis: Da Vinci’s "Great Bird" flying machine and anatomical studies are missing! Without his fusion of biology and mechanics, the leap to modern aviation and medicine will never happen.
The Fix:
Science & Engineering: Analyze fluid dynamics and lift by constructing high-performance gliders based on Da Vinci’s "Aerial Screw." Study bio-mechanical engineering by building functional "robotic" hands using pulleys and tendons to mimic human muscle movement.
Art: Master Chiaroscuro and Sfumato—the science of light and atmospheric blurring—to create hyper-realistic portraits. Practice anatomical drafting by sketching skeletal structures with medical precision, blending scientific observation with fine art.
Math & Literacy: Explore The Golden Ratio in nature and art to calculate perfect proportions. Write "Codex" entries using specular (mirror) writing to encrypt your scientific discoveries.
Mission Goal: Bridge the gap between human biology and mechanical flight to restore the spark of genius!
