Citizen Science: Have a Slice of Pi!


Greetings friends!

If you read the subject line then I am sure you are conjuring up some ideas of Boston Creme, Lemon Meringue or Strawberry Rhubarb...

Well, it's not that kind of Pi. Tomorrow, March, 14th, marks two momentous occasion in math and science culture: The birthday of Albert Einstein and Pi Day!

Pi Day is traditionally celebrated by Math enthusiasts and educators alike each year on March 14th. 3.14 or Pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to the diameter. It began as a Museum-based celebration at the Exploratorium in San Francisco in 1988, and has become a day to celebrate math.

"Pi says to e: Get real!
e says to Pi: Get rational!"

If you would like some math resources - we have lots of great activities, math kits and posters that you can check out! Let us know if we can make your pi day any sweeter!

Stay tuned and stay curious,

-Nancy
