Happy Pi Day!

The earliest known official or large-scale celebration of Pi Day was organized by Larry Shaw in 1988 at the San Francisco Exploratorium, where Shaw worked as a physicist, with staff and public marching around one of its circular spaces, then consuming fruit pies. The Exploratorium continues to hold Pi Day celebrations.

Pi Day has been observed in many ways, including eating pie, throwing pie, and discussing the significance of the number π. Some schools hold competitions as to which student can recall Pi to the highest number of decimal places.
