Celebrating π day
March 14th is known worldwide as Pi day to celebrate the math constant pi: 3.14 (or 22/7). Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.

Project Overview

For Pi day, we held a math activity that showed a fun way to learn about this constant. Students first conducted a challenge to see who could remember the most digits of pi. Next, students were given soda cans and asked to calculate pi, per instructions. Of course, the soda and some snacks were theirs to consume afterwards.

Space Mathematics

Did you know that all 4 countries where we operate have space programs? This was news to the students, as these programs were established not too long ago. We wanted the students to know that they too can become astronauts one day! Students conducted an activity on space mathematics, where they learned how to map the path of the Curiosity Rover on Mars. They also learned about Dr. Mae Jemison, the first African American female astronaut in space.
