The Fractal Foundation just travelled to Roswell, for a special evening fractal show at the Goddard Planetarium, and then the next day a couple of leactures for NM MESA middle school students. MESA (Math, Engineering, Science, Achievement) is a great organization that has invited us all around the state to teach. This was our first trip to the southeast region, and I really enjoyed it, as did the students and teachers. I the heard feedback from the show at the Goddard Planetarium was so good they want to have us back next year, and make a fractal show a regular event.
One of the great benefits of my job is that I get to travel through some really beautiful landscapes. New Mexico is so full of natural fractals! I thought I’d share a Google Earth snapshot of the landscape west of Roswell/Artesia. Cool!
