Pi Day is here! It is true that today, March 14, is Pi Day, which is often known as 3.14 for short.
The Exploratorium, a science and technology museum in San Francisco, was the first to commemorate Pi Day in 1988. The idea to commemorate Pi Day was hatched by museum physicist Larry Shaw.
His daughter Sara Shaw told ABC News that her father “always wanted to blend weird, exciting concepts with science and math.” As a method to bring people together to appreciate something that is grounded on science, but done in a fun and instructive manner, it’s called a science festival.”
Many of the shirts worn by PBE instructors have the pi symbol in the phrase “Inspire” emblazoned on them.
Is there a meaning to the number “Pi”? For ages, scientists have known that the circumference-to-diameter ratio of a circle equals 3.14, or pi.
Isn’t it obvious that pi doesn’t have a beginning or end? When you enter the pi sign into a calculator, it displays 3.141592654 since the screen is full. It’s a cycle that never stops.
Teachers have celebrated Pi Day by planning engaging lessons for their pupils in math, art, and science. A number of English teachers have brought pi into their classrooms by composing pi-ku poetry, which is similar to Haiku with the first line consisting of three syllable and the second line consisting of one.
Albert Einstein’s birthday is on the 14th of March, so why not celebrate both? 1879 was his year of birth.
Due to its popularity, Pi Day was declared a federal holiday in the United States by the House of Representatives in 2009.
Let’s celebrate Pi Day with a drink! You can do arithmetic, compose a poem, or have a slice of pie.
