Today (3/14) is Pi Day, but GreenVest celebrated a day early! Since Team GV was spending Wednesday together in our Bowie office for our Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Lunch and Learn training, we decided to enjoy pi(e) two circumferences of the clock sooner. As always, Pi Day involved enjoying various round foods, like pizza and dessert pies.
A little background on Pi Day: Pi (3.1415926…) is the mathematical constant of a circle’s circumference divided by its diameter, which is essential to many formulas in mathematics and physics. Here at GreenVest, we use it often – for example, to get the diameter of a tree or pipe by measuring its circumference. On March 14, 1988, Larry Shaw, a physicist at the San Francisco Exploratorium, coordinated a circular march and pie eating extravaganza. Chosen for its resemblance to the first three digits of Pi, 3/14 has since become international Pi Day, and a reason for math and sweets themed parties around the world.
Thanks to everyone at GV who participated in this fun and tasty celebration. We are counting down the days until March 14, 2025, when we can enjoy more pi(e)!
