I have heard @Trianglemancsd talk about this pattern machine that he's made and used at Math on a Stick at the Minnesota state fair (something I've wanted to go to since I've heard about it). It seems so tactile and fun and full of mathematical possibilities. Now you can have the patterns (though not the tactile experience). And creators @nhoskee and Beth Johnson have made it easy to share any pattern you make by having a copy button that allows you to paste easily into Twitter and other socials.
