My Project

Rubik's cubes have several known benefits for students. They improve memory, problem-solving skills and perseverance. They teach students to plan out steps and they introduce algorithms. They keep your mind active and engaged while improving processing speed, agility, and reflexes. They require focus and build the capacity for longer term concentration.

Even better, these cubes can be used over and over again to create puzzles for a long time, so the impact of this grant will be in terms of years, not months.

In addition to the educational benefits above, I believe this project will help my students rebuild their post-Covid sense of community as they work together to solve the mosaic puzzles. There are free puzzle generators online where my students can create a mosaic from an existing photo, or even create their own mosaic using the drawing tool. I am excited about the possibilities! Thanks for considering my grant!
