Research Abstract

To give experiences of a mechanical engineering to kids, we were studied how to use reconstructed models from codices written by Leonardo da vinci for education. As a result, some methods were considered about an introducing and a protecting the models. In addition, a wooden model kit and a movie to explain machine tools were developed.
