CCC’s regionally acclaimed band, the π‘d π‘pers, will rock the event with music and singing. There will be math games, a Pi-walk, face painting, Pi prizes and more.

What is Pi Day:

Pi is everywhere around us; it is the ratio of any circle’s circumference to the length of its diameter. Pi Day is March 14th, which mimics the first 3 digits of Pi (3.14).

For additional information about this fun event or if you have questions about the mysteries of Pi, contact TJ Lackner, CCC Mathematics Instructor, at 503-338-2452 or tlackner@clatsopcc.edu
