Rubik's Cube Challenge
For the third consecutive year, we have the pleasure of partnering with the "You Can Do The Rubik's Cube" organization.
During the morning portion of Math Field Day, while the teams are competing, the coaches, whose teams will compete in the afternoon Rubik's Challenge, will be attending a Rubik's Challenge coaches'/proctors' meeting.

Each team will be given the opportunity to sign up on the School Registration page for the Rubik's Cube Challenge to be held after lunch and before the Math Field Day awards ceremony.
How it works:
•Each school is allowed 8 participants (combined from their 4th, 5th, and/or 6th grade Math Field Day teams) to compete in the Rubik's Cube Challenge.
•During the challenge, each team of 8 will work together to solve 11 Rubik's Cube. The goal is to solve all 11 cubes with the fastest time.
•Awards will be given to the top team(s).
•There is no fee to participate in the Rubik's Cube Challenge, but the challenge is limited to the first 20 schools (from North and South, respectively) who register.
•Teams must bring their own cubes to the competition. All cubes must be pre-approved by the competition director, Sue Seider. For questions about cubes, you can email Sue Seider at sues@SevenTowns.com.
If your school would like to participate in the Rubik's Cube Challenge at Math Field Day this year, please fill out the Rubik's Cube Challenge section on the School Registration page.
