pi day activations
In addition to our Museum exhibits remaining open for exploration and play, Pi Day guests can take part in the following hands-on activities:
- STEAM storytime + design challenge: After a rousing reading of Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi, little builders can tinker and engineer their own carriers for round snacks, inspired by the central challenge of the story
- scales and weights: Little mathematicians can practice their skills of comparing, counting, and estimating as they use balances and scales to explore mass and balance.
- bike gear spirograph: Gear up for a dazzling activity exploring circles, symmetry, and shapes! Using recycled bike gears, little ones can watch as their artwork spirals across the page in intricate designs and colorful patterns.
- pi art: Children can search through magazines and discover numbers to pair with cut out shapes and various art supplies as they create a masterpiece inspired by pi.
- pi pixel mosaic: Art meets math with this collaborative pixel mosaic! Children can match digits of pi with corresponding hexadecimal color values, coloring beads to add to our community art piece.
