The Fractal Foundation conducts fun, hands-on educational outreach to children in classrooms and home school groups to foster creative and critical thinking, important skills for science, engineering, technology and math (STEM) careers. We also host fractal video shows and presentations to large groups like school assemblies, STEM events or any occasion. Our staff hold professional development sessions for teachers to learn to use fractals to teach our fractal activies, which are combine science, math and art concepts. "First Friday Fractals", an award-winning public planetarium show, is at the NM Natural History and Science Museum the first Friday of every month. To engage students and the pubilc in seeing beauty of math and science in art, we hold the Albuquerque Fractal Challenge, an art contest that takes the winning fractals made by children and displays them as giant public artworks on buildings and billboards. Finally, an ongoing project is the Fractal Trianglethon, a statewide project to teach children to make fractal triangles and assemble thousands of them into the world's largest fractal triangle.
The Fractal Foundation uses the beauty of fractals to inspire interest in science, math and art.
