To celebrate #PiDay, our Curriculum Developers put together a Codecademy workspace that estimates the value of Pi using a Monte Carlo method. 💻 🥧 Check out this #p5js visualization and try playing around with the code yourself here! https://bit.ly/3vTy4EE What’s a Monte Carlo method? Simply put, it’s a class of algorithms that relies on repeated, random sampling to find out the likelihood of a range of results occurring. In other words, think of it like a dart board! 🎯 If we close our eyes an
