We want everyone to get a taste of The Tech Museum, so we’re celebrating Pi Day in interesting fashion.
Come 3.14, we’re inviting the community to help send a student to the museum by donating in the form of $3.14, $31.41, $314.15, $31,415.92 or more! The goal, of course, is to take an active role in helping to inspire the next generation of scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians. This is why we offer free Field Trips to The Tech Museum to ALL K-12 California schools. Our commitment to this field trip program requires us to raise funds from the community to cover the cost of the 140,000 children we host on free field trips to the museum each school year. The museum must raise approximately $900,000 each year from individuals, foundations and corporations in order to cover the cost of the Free Field Trip Program alone.

We chose Pi Day because Pi is an innovative discovery of one of the most important mathematical constants used in countless technologies that we use daily.
They include:
Geometry problems that occur in drawing and machining
Signals on our radar, TV, radio and phones
Navigation such as global positioning
