Rubik's Cube for Gifted Learners

Help me give my students Rubiks Cubes. We want to form a MENSA club for students with gifted test scores in the 98 and 99th percentile to compete at a local university in the spring.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Gifted learners are able to process information more quickly and need to be constantly challenged. Our school district has many students who score in the 98th and 99th percentile on cognitive ability tests. These students can apply to be members of MENSA, a national organization. We would like to start a MENSA group for students to get together and play games.

The Rubik's cubes I have requested would be one part of the MENSA group program for our gifted students.

They could practice and compete at a local university each year.

Your donation to this project can help us build our MENSA club and prepare these high ability and high potential students to spend time doing a fun activity and compete with other amazing students.
