Learning to solve a rubiks cube is enriching to students. The steps to solving a cube include learning several algorithms. Students use these cubes in a club setting. Any student on campus is allowed to come to club and once we learn how to solve the cube we compete against ourselves by increasing our speed. Once the students learn how to solve the cube we use the knowledge they have gained to apply it to a differenct situation by creating a mosaic. One of the coolest things we do with the cubes is creating mosaics. The largest mosaic we have created to date is using 100 cubes. The first year of our club we borrowed the cubes for six weeks and we knew right away we wanted our own set. We display our mosaics in the library for everyone to see, but the small number we have does not allow us to create the intricate designs.
