Monday, March 14th, 2022—Do you know what math's favorite holiday is?! Pi Day, of course! Below are some fun facts about Pi Day (3.14).

• The symbol for Pi has been in use for over 250 years. The symbol was introduced by William Jones, a Welsh mathematician, in 1706. The symbol was made famous by the mathematician Leonhard Euler.
• The Greek letter π is the first letter of the word periphery and perimeter. And as we all know, pi is the ratio of a circle's "periphery" to its diameter.
• Humans have memorized vast stretches of pi - 2015, Suresh Kumar Sharma set a world record when he successfully recited more than 17,000 digits of pi — a feat that took 17 hours to complete.

We hope you have a happy Pi Day Atoms, no matter how you slice it!

Friday, March 4th, 2022—Syracuse Academy of Science Congressional Awards students embarked on a trip of a lifetime when given the opportunity to visit the Nation’s Capital. Led by Mr. Yaman and Mr. Serkan, the Atoms soaked in all of Washington D.C.’s rich history, iconic monuments, historical sites, landmarks and museums.

During their trip, the Atoms visited the U.S. Capitol, the National Mall (the most-visited National Park), the Space Museum, the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, and of course the historical Lincoln Memorial.

This historical and patriotic trip to Washington D.C. is always one our students will remember.
