Education and Information
MATH 2.0 DAY calculates the role mathematics plays in electronics and technology. Started by the Math Interest Group in 2009, this day is all about the numbers which make our tech world go ‘round.
On Today’s Menu…
Our health-food of the day will not give you the blues. NATIONAL BLUEBERRY DAY brings us those sweet tidbits that are full of nutrients, fiber, and antioxidants. Add ‘em to your cereal, salad, ice cream or just enjoy them by themselves.
That leads us to our dessert of the day, NATIONAL CHOCOLATE WITH ALMONDS DAY. This can actually be a little healthy, especially if the chocolate is dark. A rich chocolatey taste with a big nutty crunch makes every bite a sensation.
NATIONAL FREEZER POP DAY doesn’t discriminate on flavor or shape – as long as it’s frozen. Cool off with one of these fabulous frozen treats.
