Pi Day

Join Us for a Celebration of Pi Day and
Albert Einstein's Birthday

March 14 is an important day at Einstein. While Pi Day is commemorated around the country, the date holds special significance to us because it is also our namesake’s birthday.

To celebrate what would have been Albert Einstein’s 145th birthday, we’ve lined up a range of activities to honor “Uncle Albert,” celebrate our institution, and, of course, enjoy pi(e).
