The Rubik's Cube turns 30 years old! Rubik's is celebrating this milestone in San Diego, California at the San Diego Science Festival on March 27th with over 50 local schools participating in the “You CAN Do the Rubik's Cube” Tournament!
“The new “You CAN Do the Rubik’s Cube” program (www.YouCanDoTheCube.com) is designed to get youth engaged in math and science in a fun way. Lesson plans built around the Cube help kids learn about problem-solving, teamwork, and other math disciplines like area, perimeter, volume, angles, and algorithms.”
Adults and kids alike have enjoyed this 3D mechanical puzzle since 1974 when it was invented in Hungary by Professor Erno Rubik. The “Magic Cube” was it's original name, and was changed when it was mass produced in 1977. For a full time line of Rubik's invention, check out the official website.
