I’m a Rubik’s cube fan from way back. It’s another favorite toy from my childhood. I used to have it down so I could solve it in a few minutes. Not too long ago my nephew challenged me to a contest to see who could solve it quicker. He won hands down. I’m not nearly as quick as I used to be.
Now there’s a new program that uses the Rubik’s Cube to increase children’s self-esteem. The program is called You CAN Do The Rubik’s Cube®!
The You CAN Do the Rubik’s Cube! Program helps 8-to-18 year-olds unlock the secret of solving the world famous 3×3 Rubik’s Cube and experience all the rewards, and feelings of accomplishment that go with the achievement.
The You CAN Do the Rubik’s Cube! Program website provides all the necessary information an organization or individual needs to experience or share this incredible journey with others, including:
- Cuber Corner – an online community where participants can share Rubik’s Cube experiences
- Secret Unlocked – a step-by-step solution guide for solving the 3×3 Rubik’s Cube • Helping Others – an area where content helps any youth organization incorporate the Rubik’s Cube into their daily or weekly activities
- Math Twist – lesson plans using the Rubik’s Cube for math teachers seeking to engage their students in fun ways to learn about geometry, algebra, and other important math concepts
- And much more…..
There is information at the website for parents, educators, and youth leaders on how they can use the website, and the Rubik’s Cube to help build children’s self esteem, and encourage them to learn while they’re having fun.
It’s fun to see the latest generation still learning from one of my favorite childhood toys.
The rubix cube is very hard puzzle to solve. The first time a manage to solve it currectly was only after two weeks.
