What is Pi? Pi represents a number. It’s an infinite number. That mean it goes on and on and on and never stops. A shortened form of PI is 3.14 so that’s why we talk about PI on March 14th each year or 3/14. It is represented by the Greek symbol.

Note: If you are building this on SKrafty PLEASE let a mod or admin know so we can come take a picture to share with everyone else!! 🙂
Now that you’ve learned a little about Pi, let’s have a Minecraft Challenge!! Can you build Pi in Minecraft? Of course you can!
The number for Pi is 3.14159265358979323846864338327950288419716939937510582097… and it goes on and on and on.

Build #2: Here’s another idea if you’d like! Build a pixel art image of Pi. Here’s what it looks like:
To start you can print it or draw it on Graph paper to get perspective.
