HOW TO START YOUR OWN RUBIK'S CUBE CLUB PT. 1
Hey guys, it's Moonwink Cuber here. At my school me and one of my other friends created our own Cubing Club. It was really fun and is a great thing that you should spread to your school.
Step 1. Find people that will help you
Three years ago in my class, myself and a couple of other students became the first cubers in our area. Some of them still practice and speedsolve. We started to ponder the idea of a Rubik's cube club when we finally graduated to middle school. The first year in middle school, we came through and started our cube club.
Step 2. Find a sponsor
At my school, you can start your own club but you need to find a sponsor (aka a teacher that is willing to supervise every meeting) We found two math teachers (very fitting, I know) that were willing to co-sponsor the club.
Step 3. Groups+Curriculum
This step is optional but will make your club a lot more professional.
During the beginning of the school year, the co-leader of the club decided to write up a curriculum. At that point we decided that we will have two groups. A: Learning to solve and B: Learning to get faster. Accepting the idea, I wrote one for the B group, which I was leading. (I wasn't very good at sticking to it but that's not the point)
The one flaw of our curriculum was timing.
The A: group curriculum, always ran over and took a longer amount of time than expected.
The B: group curriculum was too quick and I was able to cover three days worth in one meeting.
Step 4. Advertisements!
Every year at the school that I attend, they have three club expo's (one for each grade.) A club expo is a chaotic way to spread the word about your club. You can put up tri-folds, do examples (which is obvious for cubing,) and pass out sign up sheets. The problem was, I got alerted on the day of the third expo that the club was officially on. So I had to quickly print out a Rubik's cube poster. But, there was a catch. My printer was broken. So I ran to get a hastily hand-drawn picture of a 3x3 and managed to print just a title. i slapped it on a leftover poster board and, Ta-Da! Cubing on a budget! (also a series from my channel: Moonwink Cuber) We managed to entice two eight graders that we didn't know and a bunch of sixth graders that we did know, and we had a cube club!
Thanks for reading part one of my essay on starting your own cube club
Be sure to ask any questions and read part two (it just came out)
My cube club this year is just around the corner so I'll have a whole post just on that.
