Unleash your inner artist and inventor and be inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s flying inventions.

Join us for a free and relaxed drop-in session where you can reimagine, design and create your own gliding machine.

Learn how to make paddle pop planes, straw paper planes, gliders and even rockets, and prepare them for launch!

Participants can also add personal messages of hope and vision of a reimagined future on their creations, just as da Vinci did in the 1500s, driven by his interest and fascination with flight.
