Fractal Foundation

“And other public events. We had 26 hours of flight time in the skies of new mexico and did several static displays for neighborhood children. We gave out 7,500 balloon cards with mathematical equations and the coordinates of the fractal balloon image to inspire people to download free fractal software and create these kind of images for themselves. Fractal ballooning is a spectacular demonstration of the power of math, chemistry, physics and art. The balloon was enjoyed by over 12,000 fans on facebook, and over 500 on our new @flyingfractals instagram account. This social media presence has resulted in invitations to fly the fractal balloon in canada and europe, where we hope to expand our educational outreach activities globally.”

“Almost always sell out. In 2018 approximately 1400 children and 5800 adults benefitted from our regularly scheduled shows in new mexico. We also performed 6 additional planetarium shows for school groups in albuquerque, and we traveled to the roswell planetarium where we reached about 300 adults and 200 children at the roswell arts and sciences festival. Additionally, the fractal content from our shows was licensed to one other planetarium (at palomar coollege), where thousands more people benefitted.”

“Institutes are offered to educators to teach fractal content and pedagogy. We reached about 3500 children at 20 schools in new mexico during presentations that included hands-on fractivites where students got to experience making fractals themselves. Outside of schools we reached 110 teahcers during the nm stem summit, where we instructed teachers in using our fractivities to deliver standards-based curriculum materials in a fun and engaging way.”

“Abq fractal challenge: k-12 students from the albuquerque area create and submit fractal images. Winners are chosen based on aesthetic beauty, complexity and color scheme and are displayed around albuquerque as public works of art. This year 187 children created unique and beautiful fractal artworks for the challenge using the free, open source software available from fractalfoundation.org.”
