2022 International Pi Day Celebrations:
NPI is celebrating National Pi-Day. National Pi Day is celebrated each year on March 14th as it is a mathematical constant with the beginning numbers of 3.14. In that Pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference, NPI is using pie to celebrate by releasing three videos on our YouTube series, Science in the Kitchen: Cooking up Curiosity, to engage young mathematicians and scientists. These videos will include fun activities that are “sprinkled” with science factoids that can be recreated at home or in the classroom. We will also celebrate Albert Einstein, whose birthday is on this very day. These young scientists will discuss the importance of Einstein and his work.
In this video two young scientists sprinkle in science factoids while making an Oreo pie. Also, be sure to watch our next video where we will be cutting our pie by using fractions!
In this video you will see our two young scientists and mathematicians, using their knowledge of fractions to cut their Oreo pie! This is such a fun way to bring science and math into your kitchen.
Happy Pi Day!! Today is March 14th, also known as Pi day AND Albert Einstein’s Birthday. To celebrate, NPI invited two young scientists to decorate cakes for this special day and talk about why Einstein is so important. We are challenging YOU to decorate a cake for Einstein’s Birthday! Please tag us in all of your Pi Day activities; we would love to see all of the pictures and videos you take of your Einstein-ified cakes!!
