Build the Snowflake fractal:
By iterating a simple procedure we have turned a triangle into a star, then a star of stars, and finally a snowflake. (MATERIAL: We have glued a magnetic white-board sheet on a table and cut magnetic stripes.)


Explore the Mandelbrot fractal:
Seemlessly zooming into the Mandelbrot on the touchscreen. (MATERIAL: 5 iPads and a computer with 28 kernel and an 8K resolution screen.)
