Let's Eat Some Pi!

We celebrated Pi Day at the Maryland Science Center! Pi Day is March 14th, for the first three digits of pi are 3.14. There is a great work of art in front of the science center. It is made of metal pieces and is unique.

The Pi Day part had a quiz about pi's history, a pie-eating contest, a chain where the numbers of pi were clothes-pinned on, and an area where you recited as many digits of pi as you know.

The museum itself was fun. An area called Newton's Alley had a mist table, which was very fun to clear of mist. I stuck my face in it! The space area was cool. The area in it, SpaceLink, was fun to play in. The "Dock the Shuttle" was fun to watch. The planetarium had a show called "Sky Live", and it was about the stars tonight at about 11:00 P.M. The other show, "Dark Matters", wasn't as fun, but still cool.

Afterwards, we celebrated Pi Day some more. We had a pie-eating contest on our own! Stevie won, but not by much. Kimmy almost beat him.
Happy Pi Day! 3.1415926535!
