Pi Day Festival at the Leonardo Museum

Today's date is 3.14.15, the Ultimate Pi Day!

I celebrated with other families and volunteers at the Leonardo Museum's Pi Day Festival in Salt Lake City.

I was in charge of helping people at the "Cherry Pi" station, where rather than your typical estimation jar, we used math and pi to calculate the volume of the container and the volume of an individual cherry and then calculated to find how many cherries would fit into that volume.  My favorite part was walking through step-by-step, the calculation problem with a girl who did not feel very confident in her math abilities.  She did a great job!

STEM Women and Girls Breakfast

You will not want to miss out on this exciting STEM Women and Girls Breakfast!  I have had the opportunity to work with both Dr. Gray and Ms. Sue Redington in the past, they are both amazing women!  Dr. Gray is over the ACCESS: Women in Science and Mathematics Program at the University of Utah which I participated in last summer.  I have been in contact with Ms. Sue Redington while promoting my Engineering Fair Curriculum and promoting other opportunities in STEM.
