African fractals – Culturally Situated Design Tools (CSDT)
African Fractals – this lesson enables you to explore fractal geometry in computing and science and apply that knowledge to African Designs. Culturally situated design tools use information technology to “translate” from local knowledge and low-tech practice, to high-tech domains such as math, computer graphics, architecture, etc. Culturally-situated design tools allow knowledge to move in both directions across…

Transformational Geometry – Culturally Situated Design Tools (CSDT)
This great site developed by Ron Eglash gives a number of resources that engage with the principles of geometry. 1. Transformational geometry and iteration in Mangbetu Art – the art work shows the use of all four geomtric transfomational principles, Reflection, Translation, Rotation and Scaling. The link enables you to find out more about Mangbetu Art and use the software…
