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.
