Last month I was able to have an online live tutorial on how to solve the Rubik’s Cube. The cube was invented the year that I was born but really didn’t get full blown popularity until the 80’s. Ever since then it has been all around and now there are major solving competitions where people solve the cube in seconds! You couldn’t even solve it that fast by pulling off all the stickers and putting them back on to look like you solved the cube.

The live seminar was very interesting. We not only learned techniques for solving the cube but we learned about the Rubik’s Brand’s You CAN Do the Rubik’s Cube program. The program teaches over 800K+ students a year. There are solution guides that I was given along with a 2X2, 3X3 and 4X4 cube. So far I have only been able to solve the 2X2 but eventually I will try for the 3X3. The 4x$ is going to Christmas is for kids. Maybe whoever gets it is up for the challenge to solve that one.

The Rubik’s Brand’s You CAN Do the Rubik’s Cube program is an educational community outreach program that provides Rubik’s Cube resources to thousands of educators and students in all 50 states to incorporate learning to solve the Cube into curriculum. Since 2008, almost 4 million students have had the opportunity to learn to solve the Cube – and now you can too!

There is even a cube lending program that educators can use to secure cubes for their students for six weeks and they need only pay for return shipping of the cubes, and guides. the program provides a Learn-to-solve Curriculum as well. You can even sign up for Virtual Teacher training. so what are you waiting for?
