Welcome to our annual Pi Day! Help us celebrate this never-ending number (3.14159 . . .) and Einstein's birthday as well.
Founded at the Exploratorium by our own Prince of Pi, physicist Larry Shaw, Pi Day has become an international holiday, celebrated live and online all around the world.

Celebrate a multi-layered Pi Day with Exploratorium's resident math enthusiast Lori Lambertson.
In recognition of Pi Day, Women's History Month, and our spring experience Look Up, Lori will talk about women scientists whose work advanced our understanding of outer space. Come learn about their research and expertise, and how these scientists incorporate pi in their work.
Lori Lambertson studied dance and biology at UC Santa Cruz, painting at USF, and education at SFSU. She taught both math and science at the middle school level, before working as teacher-in-residence in the Exploratorium's Teacher Institute (TI).
Why Pi?
