We are the inventors group, and we are going to talk to you about two different inventors and some of their inventions of the renaissance. The inventors made some inventions and some of the inventions they didn’t make, but they stored them for years to come. The inventions they made and did not make would be things we use today and that help improve our everyday lives. Leonardo Da Vinci was one of the Renaissances best inventors. Not to include he was also a painter and a actor! When Leonardo was alive he kept all his inventions a secret, in fact his many notebooks weren't found for 200 years after his death. He was the inspiration for modern day tanks, guns, flying devices, and even ball bearings! If we did not find his notebooks and figured …show more content…

A real one was made that actually worked though. All of this was happening somewhere in Italy. Da Vinci was an inventor as well as an artist. Why he drew this, it is hard to tell.

The printing press was able to make books faster than Monks and normal people could write them and some of the inventions that Da Vinci revolutionized the world that we know, Especially the ball bearing that allows most of the machines that we know work. All in all, those things we talked about were the most important things to that time period, and to the
