Narrative 

Madeline and I originally came up with this project idea when we became obsessed with the Rubik's Cube.  We really wanted to be able to solve it, learn more about the history of how the Cube came to be, and other Rubik's products.  In this project we achieved the core competency of creativity and innovation by creating a website and a time line.  We attempted the core competency of citizenship and communication by trying to contact the inventor of the Rubik's Cube, but we utterly failed and found out he doesn't talk to fans or really anyone else.  Also, we especially achieved problem solving by figuring out how to solve the Rubik's Cube and we made our own solution guide.  In the area of information technology we video taped many of our fellow classmates attempting to solve the Rubik's Cube and/or the flower.  In addition, we created our very own Rubik's Cube website with Weebly.  Overall this project was very fun, successful, and we learned a lot.
