Explore the “M” in STEM by celebrating Pi Day! On Pi Day, math teachers, students and enthusiasts around the world will celebrate the mathematical constant pi (π), and the birthday of Albert Einstein, one of the greatest mathematicians in history. Pi represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter and has been calculated to over one trillion digits beyond its decimal point. Students can have fun playing pi games, eating pi foods or trying to memorize the infinite, non-repeating decimal!
