Solving the Rubik's Cube

Phuoc, an ISU student who works at Red Raccoon Games, will talk via Zoom about his experiences with Rubik's cubes. (It takes him an average of 17 seconds to solve the Cube!) Participants will have a chance to ask questions, learn tricks, show off their own solved cubes, show off their Rubik's cube skills, and meet some other kids (a.k.a. geniuses; you're all geniuses!).

Kids age 7-12  and ranging all experience levels are welcome. Registration is required. A small number of cubes are available for check out from the library if one is needed. 

During the registration window for this program, registration can be completed online below, by calling 309.590.6155, or by visiting the Children's Services Desk at the Library and registering in person. As soon as registration is complete, you will receive an email with a link to the online program.
