Ever wanted to learn how to solve a Rubik's cube? Here's your chance! Over the course of four classes, you will learn to solve the puzzling cube every time. This class is made for those who have never tried solving the Rubik's cube puzzle before, and will cover basic sequences. You can attend either section, but must attend one each day the class is offered. Since the sessions are progressive, if you miss one, you will not be able to participate in the following session.
Rubik's cubes will be available for in-class use only. If you are interested in buying your own cube go to: www.rubiks.com (we will be using the standard six
solid color cube ~$12).
