Frequently Asked Questions
What age group is this club for?
This club is designed for youth age 8 to 18, but this is not a hard rule. A little higher or lower is also okay!
How long are each session?
Each session is 1 hour and 45 minutes long. The first three lessons (April 8, 15, 22) have been booked for 10:00 to 11:45 AM, and is the standard expected time for each lesson. However, due to how the city of Kitchener manages its room booking system, I cannot book times for dates past one month from the date I make my reservation. I cannot promise that every week is from 10:00 to 11:45, but I will do my best to book that time for each lesson whenever it becomes available.
Where are the lessons being held?
What is the cost per lesson?
Lessons with the Waterloo Youth Cube Club are completely free! There is no exchange of money whatsoever. Come out and cube together!
Schedule - April 2023 Session
This schedule is tentative, as we need to manually book a time slot for each lesson, which may not be available when the schedule for a new day is released.

Lesson 3 - Creating a 2×2×2 Block.pptxThe main task of April 8 was to be introduced to solving a Rubik's Cube, by solving a 2×2×2 Block. Students learned about the importance of breaking a difficult problem down into simpler subproblems (including breaking up subproblems into even more subproblems), building things linearly in squares, and that one should not break up any progress made when building the next step. Next week, we will be covering the process of solving a 2×2×3 block, building upon the skills from this step, and edge orientation, which prepares the solver to build a large 2×2×3 block two weeks from now.
