“Pi Day Princeton proves that Princeton's businesses, academic institutions, non-profits, residents and scholars value creativity, collaboration and community."

That verdict from Mimi Omiecinski, Maestro of this past weekend’s four-day celebration of Albert Einstein’s birthday (March 14), coupled with number Pi (3.14), a coincidence that spawned an endless stream of fun activities dreamed up by Omiecinski and her collaborator, Joy Chen.

Eating contests, calculator counters, and plane rides with Einstein impersonators are all wrapped up in one big celebration that aims to become a tradition, dubbed “Geek Freak” Weekend. The four-day event starts Friday and culminates on March 14, the date of Albert Einstein’s birth -- designated as “Pi Day,” based on the mathematical number pi, whose digits mirror the date (3.14).
