3/14: Get Your Nerd On with the Colorado Avalanche and the Big Brain Club was created by ScienceChic

After last year’s huge success, we are once again teaming up with University of Denver’s Society of Physics Students for pregame activities. Last year’s event saw more than 700 people descend on the Pepsi Center for an afternoon of interactive science experiments, VIP access, opportunities to win autographed Avs’ memorabilia, and great discounts on Avs tickets.

On Saturday, March 14, we’re hosting another spectacular night of fun with the Colorado Avalanche! Come join us for an evening of interactive science activities, behind-the-scenes access at the Pepsi Center, and NHL hockey!

Doors will open to our group at 4:30p, and we’ll kick things off at 5:00p with exclusive science-based activities until doors open to the public at 7:00p. That leaves some time to grab a bite to eat before the puck drops at 8:00p! We’ll send out detailed information to all attendees, but you can contact us here with any questions .

Get your discounted tickets right here . . . and remember that a portion of the proceeds from every ticket sold will benefit The Big Brain Club and our school programs.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

Happy Pi Day & Happy Birthday to Albert Einstein

10 pi facts for the most irrational Pi Day of your life
By Andrea Romano
1 day ago

This isn't just any Pi Day. It's singularly the most perfect Pi Day that will ever happen in your lifetime.

For 24 hours, Pi Day 2015 will be the one and only Pi Day in the next 100 years that will actually reflect the first five numbers in everyone's favorite irrational number, pi, which is 3.1415.

Some of my favorite facts:

2. There are no occurrences of the sequence 123456 in the first million digits of pi, which makes this Pi Day one million times more special than any other sequential date ever. Ever ever. Ever ever ever.

7. Pi has 6.4 billion known digits that would take approximately 133 years to recite without stopping.

8. It is more correct to say the a circle has an infinite number of corners than to say a circle as corner-less. Many heads have exploded thinking about this concept.

10. In the Star Trek episode “Wolf in the Fold,” Spock foils the evil computer by commanding it to “compute to last digit the value of pi." Spock is the only being who can rationally solve a problem using an irrational number.
