World record attempt on Pi Day
To celebrate mathematics, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science (EEMCS) is organising a world record attempt on March 3 to form the world’s largest human π symbol.
The record attempt will not take place on Pi Day, which is on March 14 (3-14), but it will be at exactly 3:14 p.m. The current record stands at 2,036 people. That may seem like a lot, but with 26,000 students and more than 7,500 TU Delft employees, it could theoretically be possible.
Following the record attempt, mathematician Hanne Kekkonen (statistics group, EEMCS) will give a Pi lecture.
- Date: Tuesday, March 3, 2026, doors open at 2:45 p.m., official time of record attempt (sharp) 3:14 p.m.
- Location: TU Delft location X, Building 37, Mekelweg 8, 2628 CD Delft, Soccer field 1 (follow the Pi Day signs in the building to get to the soccer field)
- Participants: Anyone who would like to be part of a world record attempt
- Goal: World record for Largest human pi symbol
- Dress code: TU Delft blue (for cohesion in the pi record photos).
