Everything you need to teach the FRACTAL Expeditions — lesson guides, slides, materials, and learner variability supports, all in one place.
FRACTAL is a middle school curriculum that combines art and computer science. It is taught over approximately three weeks; each week is an Expedition of 3–4 interdisciplinary, 45-minute lessons that pair hands-on artmaking with digital creation in Fractal Studio — grounded in the principles of Universal Design for Learning.
Expedition 1
Students learn computer graphics basics as they create digital and traditional (analog) pixel artworks.
Expedition 2
Students learn programming basics as they write code to create abstract digital artwork — exploring how images can be translated into shapes using both paper and code.
Coming soon
Expedition 3
Students learn the basics of generative AI to critically engage with cutting-edge tools — through drawing games, image generation, and art critique.

What FRACTAL is, how the curriculum is organized, and what you need to teach it — no coding experience required.
