It's March 14th, also known as 3.14 or Pi Day! Here's some pi-inspired items from the Mad Scientists of Etsy.

Item of the day: Math Jewelry

This MSOE member, Kokoba, makes some really cute beaded math jewelry. What could be more perfect for Valentine's Day than this gorgeous combination of pink, white & red celebrating Euler's number?

Hop on over to Kokoba for more beaded wonders & her blog to find out more.

Sounds like it could be Science!

This time we're featuring items from the last two month's of challenge themes: accoustics of sound, and Rene Descartes. Since minouette was our only entry for the Descartes theme, she's already won that challenge with her very cool entry!

Thanks for voting!

Biology and Math combine...

...to create our "Annual Rings" and "Fractal Geometry" challenges!

Annual rings in trees often represent a tree's growth each year, and can often give clues to the enviromental conditions over the years. Fractals, in the most basic sense, can be thought of as a shape made up of smaller copies of the same shape (ie a triangle made of of other triangles), and these fractals can be found in every day life, espeically in nature.

So this time we have two different challenges to vote for! We have entries for the annual ring challenge from:
