Celebrate Pi Day With NASA

Celebrate Pi Day With NASA NASA is giving space fans a reason to celebrate Pi Day, the March 14 holiday created in honor of the mathematical constant pi. For the fourth year in a row, the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has created a Pi Day Challenge featuring math problems NASA scientists and engineers must solve to explore space. This year's illustrated problem set (also available as a free poster!) features Mars craters, a total solar eclipse, a close encounter with Saturn, and the search for habitable worlds. Follow the links below to participate in the challenge and discover more ways to celebrate Pi Day with NASA. Take the NASA Pi Day Challenge! Educators, get the standards-aligned Pi Day Challenge lesson.  Find out how NASA scientists and engineers use pi and learn about the science behind the Pi Day Challenge. How many decimals of pi do we really need?  What are you up to this Pi Day? Share your Pi Day activities and photos on our website and on social media with the hashtag #NASAPiDayChallenge. The answers to the Pi Day Challenge will be released on March 16.
