PI DAY

Pi Day Pi-Ku Poetry Contest

 

Happy Pi Day! In conjunction with STEAMFest 2025, we are excited to bring you a Pi Day Contest this year.

​

What is a Pi-Ku Poem?

Instead of the 5-7-5 pattern of a traditional haiku, a pi-ku uses the digits of pi (3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9...) to determine the number of syllables in each line.
