Rachel Washington’s winning fractal public artwork was officially dedicated at a ceremony in downtown Albuquerque on Monday March 9th. Mayor Martin J. Chavez spoke briefly and congratulated Rachel for her achievement. He then introduced Fractal Foundation executive director Jonathan Wolfe who said a few words explaining why fractals are valuable (”They make math fun, exciting, and beautiful!”) as well as thanking the Urban Enhancement Trust Fund, Albuquerque Community Foundation, and Clear Channel Outdoor for their support. Representatives of all the major local media were there, and the story made the local news programs.
"I didn't really used to like math at all - and now I do!"

really like the caption: “I didn’t really used to like math at all - and now I do” and of course the pic of Rachel Washington. Outstanding project!
Congratulations Rachel. Your work inspires me, and I am optimistic about the future of APS education. It is important for students to be recognized for their hard work and dedication. Thank you for being inspiring. Great job!
