Pi Approximation Day 2024 - 22/7
As a campaign, the nursery-schools in Nörten-Hardenberg were asked whether the children would like to take part in a symbolic representation of the first 100 decimal places with a picture.
The numbers 1-9 and 0 were to be symbolically represented by pictures. So the 2, for example, could be represented by a bird (two legs) or two flowers or ... The 5, for example, could be represented by five trees, flowers, apples or... There were no limits to the imagination.
At the end of the day, the symbolized 100 decimal places of the number Pi could not be shown in full. Our mayor Mrs. Susanne Glombitza contributed the 3 and the decimal point to the artwork and was delighted to hang up the picture herself.
Joel, one of the artists who took part in the Nörten-Hardenberg children's and youth welfare campaign on July 12, was present with his mother and presented a symbolic 'two'.
We are looking forward to seeing what the finished picture looks like. Completion is planned by the End of this year.
