You Can Solve the Cube!
Accelerate your nerd cred and impress your friends.
We believe learning and keeping your brain sharp can be fun! There isn't a better or more fun way to improve your problem solving, memory, patience, focus, persistence, dexterity, spatial awareness, coordination and nerd-cred than learning to solve a smooth, fast speed cube. Anyone can solve it — especially you!
Use the steps below to figure out how to solve your first cube, then teach your kids and everyone else you know!
1. Most people own a slow, expensive, hard-to-turn Rubik's brand cube.
We recommend one of these instead:

The Simple Solution to Rubik's Cube (book):
An easy to understand, old-school book that teaches a layer-by-layer beginner's method. Search the internet for more resources if you need them, study hard, then learn to skip steps to work it out the rest of the way!
3. Work out the bugs with private lessons!
These lessons are for kids who are brand new to the cube.
If your child has never solved a Rubik's cube and doesn't know where to start, this is exactly what these lessons are built for. We start from zero — no experience needed, no jargon.
Already know how to solve it? Then these lessons aren't the right fit. If you're chasing faster times, learning CFOP, or working on advanced algorithms, you'll be better served by a competitive speedcuber. Trevor's specialty is getting a complete beginner to their first solve.
Trevor — Founder
About your teacher
Trevor is a certified nerd: he has a master's degree in Rocket Science, knows pi to over 50 digits, and works on spreadsheets in his free time. He has known how to solve a Rubik's cube since he was a child, and has taught exciting educational programs to all ages at the TELUS World of Science Edmonton for many years.
He'll be the first to tell you he isn't a competition-level speedcuber — what he is very good at is teaching. Years in front of classrooms full of kids means he knows how to explain the cube in a way that actually sticks, and how to keep a beginner from giving up at the tricky part.
Our lessons will help your beginner practise problem solving, memory, patience, focus, persistence, finger dexterity, spatial awareness, confidence — and nerd cred.
