A Celebration of Enrico Fermi¹s Life - September 29, 2001 How many piano tuners are there in Chicago? Have fun learning about Fermi problems and other engaging activities targeted for students in grades K-8 Enrico Fermi was a great teacher who liked to help his students learn to think for themselves. His problems do not contain all the information you need to solve them. Fermi showed his students how to break down the problem into smaller parts and make some estimations and assumptions.
