It’s #ThrowbackThursday and we’re going back to 1968, when this #computerart was created by Lloyd Sumner!🖼️
He programmed a computer to draw these amazing shapes simply using code and his imagination!
He described himself as "an artist with a tool not a programmer with luck."🎨

Thank you @DrFrostMaths for your wonderful resources! Feedback from Year 9 today included “I really like having the whiteboard on the screen to write down my method “
Good luck to all the students who will be participating in the Intermediate Mathematical Challenge 2021 over the next four days! We have our fingers crossed for you all and hope you enjoy the Challenge.
Huge thanks to our sponsors @xtxmarkets for helping to make this possible!
