[new] Pi Day Celebration (none / 0) (#4)
by Anonymous Hero on Mon Apr 05, 2004 at 08:38:23 PM PDT

At my campus we celebrated Pi Day a little early, on the actual day a massive e-mail was sent through the distribution list but that was about it. We did a history of Pi PowerPoint presentation that silently ran in the background as people enjoyed pie, socialized and enjoyed the historical chronology of pi that ran from one end of the room to the other. It really got people involved since we were on the first floor of our Math/Science building. Passing people poked their heads in to see what was going on and enjoyed pie in the process. I'm glad I actually got to sit down and eat a piece myself as we didn't have any left-overs. I would recommend setting up the event relatively early though. Make sure all the equipment you need is there and don't forget any useful things like disks for presentations and cameras to take pictures. ;) Currently, Math Awareness Month is what our Math Society is celebrating. A nice presentation on Careers in Mathematics is being set up for exhibition later this month. Origami night is also a good event (turn 2-dimensions into 3-dimensions using origami...) Any other good ideas? I'm having a little bit of trouble getting people involved sometimes and can't do everything myself. Any suggestions?
