Did you know that there is an Earth-Sized exoplanet orbiting every 3.14 days (K2-315b or "PI Earth")?

With pi day just 1 week to go try our exoplanets activity: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnim...

Pi Day in Parallel – STEMcoding In an earlier activity, you were able to approximate \(\pi\) to two or three decimal places; however, it took quite a while for the computer to get to that level of precision.

#PiDay Countdown: 2 weeks to go!

Fun fact: Did you know that on Pi Day in 2015 at 9:26:53 am, the date and time perfectly matched the first 10 digits of Ο€ (3.141592653).♾️

Check out our Pi Day in Parallel activity: explore.stemcoding.org/projects/pid...

You use her math every time you open a map!

We’re honoring Dr. Gladys West, the Navy mathematician whose satellite modeling made GPS possible.

Class card exchange math is simple: V_total = N(N-1). Everyone sends a card to everyone else! πŸŽπŸ’»

Try it in Python:
n = 25
print(n * (n - 1))
