Our Rubik's cube club is having fun learning, teaching and making mosaics out of our 100 cube set. There is a competition in Baltimore Polytechnic High School on December 4, where students form a team and solve 25 cubes collaboratively in the shortest time. I will form the team with the fastest solvers but even you are a beginner, you can come and share the experience. I will share more details as date gets closer. Meanwhile, check the photos of our mosaics of Unity Day (the logo designer: 12th grade Cassidy ), Van Gogh, Mona Lisa and Starry Nights.

Parents, As you are aware, we do not have a set pattern for Fridays. It appears like they rotate, but actually sometimes there are two even three Fridays in a row that are A days. We do this to make sure there are an even number of A and B days in each quarter. I have attached a copy of the Friday A/B schedule.
