STEAM Programs and Workshops in Historical Engineering

Leonardo’s Dome is a large-scale, self-supporting wooden structure inspired by studies attributed to Leonardo da Vinci.
Within a STEAM context, it functions as a hands-on tool to explore principles of geometry, structural engineering, load distribution, and modular construction.

The Dome can be assembled without fasteners, allowing participants to directly experience how form, proportion, and friction contribute to stability. Through collective assembly, it encourages collaborative problem-solving and spatial reasoning, transforming abstract concepts into a tangible learning experience.

Used in workshops, exhibitions, and educational programs, Leonardo’s Dome serves as a bridge between historical engineering and contemporary STEAM learning, making complex structural ideas accessible through direct experimentation.
