Celebrate Pi Day With NASA

NASA is giving space fans a reason to celebrate Pi Day, the March 14 holiday created in honor of the mathematical constant pi. For the fourth year in a row, the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has created a Pi Day Challenge featuring math problems NASA scientists and engineers must solve to explore space. This year’s illustrated problem set (also available as a free poster!) features Mars craters, a total solar eclipse, a close encounter with Saturn, and the search for habitable worlds. Follow the links below to participate in the challenge and discover more ways to celebrate Pi Day with NASA.

• Take the NASA Pi Day Challenge!


• Educators, get the standards-aligned Pi Day Challenge lesson. 


• Find out how NASA scientists and engineers use pi and learn about the science behind the Pi Day Challenge.


• How many decimals of pi do we really need? 


• What are you up to this Pi Day? Share your Pi Day activities and photos on our website and on social media with the hashtag #NASAPiDayChallenge.

The answers to the Pi Day Challenge will be released on March 16.
