Cubing-Related Speech Ideas?

[Averageof12]

I have to give a speech soon, and I want to do something cubing related. Any speech topic suggestions?
The audience will be non-cubers, so nothing too complicated.
Any suggestion will be apreciated!

A summary of the 3-style method

I once did a speech about cubing, where I talked about the history of the cube, how competitions work, and why it's an enjoyable hobby. It was for an informative speech I believe, so if your requirements are based around another type, I'm not sure if those topics would work.

I can do an informative speech. These are great suggestions!

Why the Rubik’s cube is a great hobby and how it can help your strategic thinking…

 

[Timmah]

LITERALLY a couple of months before I started my current job, Feliks Zemdegs gave a talk at work and they handed out promo cubes... I was shattered I missed it!

But, I'll see if I can find out what he spoke about to give you some ideas.

 

[Tigerninja]

You cold talk about how the cube doesn't need any mathematics to be solved and that anyone can solve it.

Way too simple, I'd go for an in-depth tutorial of 5-style. Sure @abunickabhi would agree.

I remember doing something like this in grade 4, I did mine about how there were multiple types of rubik's cubes, and then described the 2x2, pyraminx, and mirror cube and who the wr holders were at the time

 

[Gecko777]

how the pyraminx is not pointless that wasnt funny was it

 

[Spencer131]

talk about the community and how it brings the world together

Sorry @Averageof12 I've just found out there isn't a recording of Feliks. I'm sad for real!!

But in answer to your question, you could talk about:

How there are a lot of different methods to solve a problem, and how we don't have to get stuck in someone else's method - there is always another way!

How learning to solve using different methods can help with adaptive problem solving in other areas of life.

The cool story about how they found God's number, and that no matter how hopeless things are, there are ALWAYS only just a few steps to a solution - if the right work is put in.

History of cubing is a good topic to cover. You can get in contact with WAT to learn more, otherwise look at the WCA page showing the history of modern competitive speedcubing.

God's number could be a very interesting topic but it might be difficult for non-cubers to understand.

That would be a great talk for cubers, but if you don't really know about the current WCA or just cubing in general, this may not be the best topic.

Depending on the subject it’s for, here’s my thoughts

History- Either history of the community or history of 3x3 single wr

English- I have no clue, I’d need more info to help you with that one

Math- God’s number or how to calculate the combination

Science/health- the proven mental benefits of cubing

If it’s just a general information presentation of the sport, then give your personal experience with the cube

Im doing how to get into cubing and the steps to solve a cube.

 

[abunickabhi]

You can always present the history in a broader sense yo.

To engage the non cuber crowd.
