Leonardo da Vinci Assembly Presentation

A school assembly PowerPoint on Leonardo da Vinci

This PowerPoint introduces pupils to Leonardo da Vinci as the ultimate example of a multidisciplinary genius whose curiosity and creativity shaped art, science and engineering. It explores his life, from his early fascination with nature to his achievements as a painter, inventor, anatomist and engineer. Key works such as the Mona Lisa, his flying machine designs, anatomical drawings and the Vitruvian Man demonstrate his blend of artistic skill and scientific inquiry. The presentation highlights Leonardo’s extensive notebooks, his forward-thinking ideas in engineering and urban planning, and his habit of mirror writing. It also emphasises the values teachers can draw out for pupils—curiosity, observation, experimentation, and linking ideas across different subjects—while encouraging children to imagine their own inventions inspired by his approach. Overall, it positions Leonardo as a timeless role model for STEAM learning and creative problem-solving.
