A presentation slide with a dark green background and instructions for drawing a Sierpinski triangle: '1. Draw a triangle. 2. Join up the midpoints of each side. 3. And again... 4. And again... 5.

The middle triangle is then removed, and the steps are repeated for the three remaining smaller triangles.
