"He always sort of liked to combine crazy, fun ideas with science and math," she said."It's a celebration and a coming together of everybody to enjoy something that is based in science but in a fun, educational way."Thus, Pi Day was born. During the first celebration, the Exploratorium's employees marched around one of the circular spaces of the museum because pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.
For the next Pi Day, Shaw built the so-called"Pi Shrine," which is a circular plaque inside one of the museum's circular classrooms. Pi Day has become an annual tradition at the Exploratorium, and the staff has carried on even after Shaw died in 2017. Over the next several years, Chinese and Indian scientists made invaluable contributions to the study of pi, adding more digits, and scientists are still trying to learn more digits of pi to the present day.
