RUBIK'S CUBE LAUNCHES EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM - "YOU CAN DO THE RUBIK'S CUBE
RUBIK'S CUBE recently launched their educational program, YOU CAN DO THE RUBIK'S CUBE and it is currently being used in schools across the country and was featured in The New York Times this past weekend http://bit.ly/EMqk8
YOU CAN DO THE RUBIK'S CUBE campaign and the objective is to not only share the secrets of solving the Rubik's Cube with young people, but to also encourage them to help others to do the same.
Those who have mastered the cube say the puzzle has increased their self-esteem, made them feel smarter and more willing to take risks, helped them overcome their fear of failure and even made them more outgoing.
The YOU CAN DO THE RUBIK'S CUBE! Program website, www.YouCanDoTheCube.com, 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 3x3 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
Holding the Rubik's Cube, twisting and turning the parts, can help children of all ages grasp important math concepts including area, perimeter, volume, angles, algorithms and enumeration, among many other geometry, algebraic and general math topics. Some teachers are even using the Rubik's Cube to teach life lessons and 21st century skills such as focus, following directions, memorization, sequencing, problem solving, critical thinking, and perseverance.

When I was teaching high school physics about 25 years ago, I would make Rubik's Cube solutions available to my students and give some extra credit to those who would solve a cube for me. I believe that the process of reading, understanding, memorizing, and accurately executing the instructions was a valuable experience for my students. I never would have anticipated increased self esteem correlated with the ability to solve the cube but, anectodally, I'm sure that I observed it!
