The Fractal Foundation is incredibly excited to reveal the first inflation of “Infinitude” – a digitally printed fractal hotair balloon. “Infinitude” a 90,000 cubic foot hot air balloon manufactured by Kubicek Balloons, will be flying at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, 10/6 – 10/14, flying from launch site S2. This is the first balloon ever […]
The Fractal Foundation took part in Belen, New Mexico’s September STEM Saturday Adventure located at St. Mary’s Catholic School Gymnasium on September 8, 2018. Families even traveled from outside of Belen to attend this event! Kids of all ages created their own 3-D Sierpinski triangle and/or 3-D Menger cube to take home and share with […]
We enjoyed being interviewed by the KRQE Morning Show on Friday, August 31, 2018, discussing what fractals are, what we do and what we’re working on next. Check it out here!
In our class, we will start by exploring the world of fractals (what is one, anyway?), then get outside do some field biology, next perform experiments indoors and wrap up our camp with engineering designs. Should be tons of fun! We’ll also visit the Minnesota Children’s Museum and the Science Museum of Minnesota. Hopefully everyone […]
The Fractal Foundation had a great visit to Milwaukee’s Partners for the Advancement of Gifted Education (PAGE) mid-April, where we held three 1-hour educational programs for elementary, middle and high school students. Check out the awesome video put together by Jessica Schultz, the coordinator of this event!
Thanks to Thrivent members electing to send their Choice dollars to the Fractal Foundation, we are able to inspire greater interest in math and science through the use of hands-on, fun activities that combine science, math and art! See examples of some of our work below and keep those Choice dollars coming! Thank you!! Building […]
We are hosting a special show this Friday, December 8 at 7 pm as the finale for the Wild Music exhibit at the NM Natural History and Science Museum. Check it out! Get your tickets here.
The Fractal Foundation was the “visiting artist/mathematician” for the second year in a row at Math on a Stick at the Minnesota State Fair. We had tons of fun and debuted our new plastic pieces which with we build tetrahedrons (ZomeTool). Tons of fun was had by all!
We want to thank Mrs. Montgomery’s 5th grade homeroom class from Chestnutwold Elementary School in Ardmore, PA for sending us the Sierpinski triangles they created to be part of our Fractal Trianglethon! Ironically, they had exactly 27 triangles in their packet, which makes a great third order Sierpinski triangle made out of Sierpinski triangles. Keep those triangles […]
The Fractal Foundation is honored to have been invited back for yet another year of fractal outreach activities at Sky City Community School out in the beautiful fractal-covered landscape of Acoma, New Mexico. Fractal Foundation Education Director Emma Eckert led three presentations and activity sessions for students attending the 21st Century Summer School STEM program […]
