Fractals in NM Kids Magazine

Hey, I was just googling to try to find what the largest Sierpinski Triangle ever made is (so we can make a bigger one!), and I came across an article in New Mexico Kids Magazine about us. It was printed a year or two ago, and I was really glad to see it’s still available on their website. Check it out - it’s a very well written story, by the excellent Aileen O’Catherine.

Fractals: The Newest New Math

(Just one note: at the bottom of the story it invites teachers to sign up, and the first ten would get in free to see First Friday Fractals. Well, we USED to be able to do that, back when we started the fractal shows a few years ago, but they don’t let us give away any seats anymore. Sorry! Old story, old info. The fractal parts are still true though :)

    Jonathan,
    I so enjoyed your presentation at the Golden Apple Meeting last Saturday. I am a 2006 Golden Apple Fellow, and currently teach middle school art in Tularosa, NM. I was also a science teacher for years. I am very interested in fractals and incorporating them into my curriculum next year. Do you think you will have a professional development opportunity this summer for teachers? I have downloaded Xaos and am trying to work through it. Thanks so much for the wonderful ideas. Jane
