The value was shown twice in the same scene, as i thought it was wrong the first time, but confirmed it on the second viewing. As I recall, it was a 1950's or 60's setting, in probably a late elementary or junior high classroom, though it could have been high school. The value of pi was either on or above a blackboard, as I recall, taken out to about 16 digits or so. The scene may have been in black and white. I have pretty well scoured "My Dog Skip" and "October Sky," which each remind me of the feel of the movie. I don't find the scene in either one, but may have missed it. The value of pi is posted as something like 3.14159265 and then about 10 more digits. The first half or so are correct, the 2nd half seem randomly chosen. Perhaps their calulator only showed half the necessary digits, and they thought no one would notice. Have looked on sites such as "nitpickers" that feast on movie errors, to no avail. Thank you! Driving me crazy! :-)
