Students from Western Pines Middle School recently embarked on an unforgettable journey into the mind of one of history’s greatest visionaries, Leonardo da Vinci, during a field trip to the South Florida PBS studios in Boynton Beach. The visit featured the award-winning immersive “Da Vinci” exhibit, which transported students back to Renaissance Italy through cutting-edge multimedia technology.
The exhibit showcased more than 50 of da Vinci’s most celebrated works, including the Litta Madonna, Virgin of the Rocks and his remarkable ornithopter. Through animated projections and interactive displays, students marveled at how da Vinci’s mind seamlessly combined creativity and curiosity to produce groundbreaking ideas that remain influential to this day.
Another highlight of the experience was stepping into da Vinci’s workshop, where students had the chance to practice his iconic mirror writing, create music inspired by his innovative thinking, and design unique inventions with the help of AI tools. The hands-on activities brought da Vinci’s genius to life, blending science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM) in ways that were both fun and educational.
The South Florida PBS exhibit, which arrived directly from Amsterdam, offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to dive into the genius of da Vinci through a multisensory adventure. Students left the field trip inspired, carrying with them a deeper appreciation for the brilliance of the Renaissance and the boundless possibilities of innovation.
