SAE Foundation participates in “Pi Day” to Inspire More Students in STEM
SAE International and the SAE Foundation celebrate National Pi Day – 3/14 – to shed light on the importance of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education.
Douglas Patton, SAE President, has generously offered to match donations made to the SAE Foundation on National Pi Day, up to $3,140.
“One of my goals as president is to focus on STEM because I realize there is a lack of engineers coming through the pipeline,” said Patton. “Pi Day is a perfect time to raise awareness about the importance of STEM education and I hope that this matching gift will help inspire others to give.” Donate to the SAE Foundation.
Donating is not the only part of Pi Day. SAE International members and Sections are encouraged to celebrate National Pi Day by uploading their photos to Member Connection.
