Why Speedcubing?
For too long, speedcubing has been flying under the radar among Tasmanians. As children are becoming more and more dependant on technology, phones and video games, they need something different, something challenging and fun to occupy their busy minds.
Memorisation Skills
Speedcubing requires memorisation of algorithms and patterns, which can translate to better memorisation and recall abilities in life and academia.
Fine Motor Skills
Speedcubing improves dexterity in children as they are constantly moving their fingers at speed! This helps with the everyday use of their fingers and with tasks such as writing and drawing.
Stress Relief
A Rubik’s Cube is a great stress and anxiety reliever tool that provides a mental escape for people.
Perserverence and Paitence
Speedcubing is very hard to master. It takes a lot of practice, numerous failures, and repeated restarts. Children who take up speedcubing learn how to work hard and persevere. The feeling of a completed cube is very rewarding and a great payoff for their efforts.
Problem Solving Skills
Children who speedcube learn critical and adaptive thinking skills as they are strategising how to solve the puzzle. This improves their logical thinking and turns these kids into problem solvers!
Hand-Eye Coordination
Speedcubing improves the constant feedback loop between visual cues and hand movement. This benefits them in sports and physical activities.
Spatial Reasoning Skills
Children who learn to speedcube learn to visualise and manipulate objects in their minds. They can think ahead and understand what effects one action might have on other objects around it.
Social Skills
Speedcubing Tasmania currently has a brilliant and welcoming community. Participation in competitions and events will improve your child’s social skills and help them connect with like-minded individuals.
