Fractals at TEDx

We are delighted and honored to have been invited to participate at both TEDxABQ in New Mexico, and TEDxBITSGoa in India.

See the video of “Fractals that Make Us” at TEDxABQ:

Following this very popular presentation at last year’s TEDxABQ event, we’re very excited to have a presence again at the upcoming TEDxABQ event on 9/10/11. We’ll be hosting a table, sharing the mind-expanding beauty of fractals with the conference attendees. Hope to see you there!

Also, please see the video of “Fractals: the Gateway to Transformation” at TEDxBITSGoa in India, on Feb 6, 2011.

Fractal Institute for Teachers, Aug 3d

Register now for our next professional development workshop for teachers, the Fractal Institute.

This will be a a one day workshop on August 3, from 10AM to 5PM, and it will take place in Jemez Springs at the new Valles Caldera National Trust Education Center.

The workshop is FREE, and is supported by a grant from the McCune Charitable Foundation.

Participants will receive a DVD containing fractal videos, lessons, slides and activities; lunch, and a T-shirt.

The workshop is open to elementary teachers (grades 3-5), as well as middle school and high school teachers. The fractal activities (”Fractivities”) we will be teaching are aligned to the NM Education Standards, and we will customize the fractivities based on the levels of the teachers who participate.

To register, please send an email to “Teachers (at) FractalFoundation.org” letting us know your name, the grade-level(s) and subjects you teach, as well as the school and city you’re in.

Thanks, and we hope to see lots of great teachers there!

Fractal Trianglethon - around the World!

The 2011 Fractal Trianglethon is almost upon as (April 10th) and hundreds and hundreds of fractals keep pouring in from all over the world! Just today, we received a batch of 729 (that’s 3^6) triangles that had been made by students from McKinley Middle School (IS259) in Brooklyn New York. The students assembled it in their gym, and the story made the local paper.

Besides New York, we’ve been receiving fractals from all over the country, including California, Delaware, Georgia, Ohio, Minnesota and Ohio. The whole world is participating too! Fractals have been coming in from Canada, England, Australia and India as well.

We’re so excited to assemble 6561 individual fractal artworks into a giant one, 192′ wide. Thanks everyone, everywhere, for contributing!

Next year, to break our record and build the next bigger one, we’ll need 3 times as many triangles, or 19683. And we have to find an indoor space big enough to hold a triangle 384′ wide. (Anyone know the owners of the Houston Astrodome?…
