In addition to that, a lot of schools also hold competitions like which student recalls the highest decimal number of Pi. Princeton, New Jersey, hosts multiple events every year to celebrate both Pi Day and Albert Einstein's birthday. Einstein used to live in Princeton and worked at the Institute for Advanced Study.
