Mick's computer game: baby fractals

[Maria Droujkova]

During the meeting on Saturday, Mick shared his idea for a computer game for babies about fractals, with touchscreens. We talked about how this game can be prototyped on paper.

Mick, can you describe your ideas, please - maybe people will play with paper and give some pointers?

My company developed a young kid game about fractals in 2007, but we are yet to release it. I learned a lot about young kids' work with fractals since then.

Have you tried any "baby fractal" games? Have you used other pretty math pictures to decorate the house?

Here's a Sierpinsky quilt. Wouldn't it make a nice baby blankie?
