Hill Road - Pi Day Celebration

image says i love pi, with love represented as a heart

Pi Day - for the love of math...and pie. The Greek letter “π” is the symbol for pi (the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter). Pi Day is an annual celebration of math and learning, and it also happens to be Einstein’s birthday, so come celebrate with us!

We will be making pi day bracelets, printing π symbol cookie cutters on our 3D printer, and other fun Pi Day activities. Children ages 6-16 can complete our Pi Day challenge to win a certificate for a Pizza Man Dan’s personal pizza pie.

See you there!
