 Blog 1.2 Rubik's Cube

    Hello fellow classmates! It is only week 2 of trying to master the Rubik's Cube, and it has already been eventful and frustrating. This week I have been practicing the first step to solving the cube, creating the white petalled daisy. I am able to understand and solve this step, thanks to the helpful source of YouTube. In order to later place and solve all of the white faces properly, you must first structure a daisy looking image on the cube. This has not been the most difficult step. 

    The next step is to turn the cubes downward with a special algorithm I have learned. Once you do this, my YouTube instructor insists that the whole white face should be solved along with the bottom layer of the cube. As you can see in my images below, I successfully solved the white face. However, only half of the bottom layer is solved, the red and orange faces. My goal this next week is to figure out where I went wrong and to hopefully correct myself from this issue.

    This is Grace! You saw what went wrong and have been researching a way to fix the problem you encountered! How long did it take you to solve the white part, and what’s the algorithm?

    Hey Maddie, I am so excited to watch you solve this rubric cube! I know you can do it! I know that you have been struggling with some parts of solving it, is there a way you can slow down the steps to get it? Can't wait to read the next blog!

Blog 1.7

 Blog 1.7 Rubik's Cube      Welcome back to week seven of my blog! I love looking through everyone's blogs to see all the progress that has been made in our class! As I work on my project, I find myself gaining new knowledge and skills when solving the cube. I've never realized how difficult and complex this game is until I tried it out myself. It gets very frustrating at times when you do all these steps, and it doesn't come out right. I have had to learn to be patient with myself and realize that things take time.       This week I have continued to practice and relearn the algorithms. I strongly believe that each week I have made progress! As I have talked about in my past blogs, I'm not sure I will have the cube fully solved by the time our Ted Talks are given. My original goal was to have mastered the puzzle by this time, but I will have to rearrange my goal. I have been caught up in trying to familiarize myself with each step and the algorit...

 Blog 1.4 Rubik's Cube     Hey guys! This week I have spent a majority of my time trying to  critique the steps I have learned to solve the cube! As you know from my previous blogs, the first step in to create a daisy looking image on the upper face of the cube. Seems simple right? Actually, this step requires a lot of practice to properly form this figure. Along with all the practice I have done outside of class, I have learned how to preform the next step: fully solving the top, yellow face. This was very exciting for me, because the puzzle appears to be almost fully solved! Although I have completed this step, I will still need to practice resolving it throughout the week, because the algorithm is very long and complex.

      Hi guys! I'm so happy if you are  reading this, because I actually made myself a meal that was edible!  Drum roll please... I made a grilled cheese sandwich served with homemade chex mix. I know you're thinking a grilled cheese is the most easy and simple meal. However, in my opinion, this is a big accomplishment for me. If you read my cooking 2.0 blog, you would know I don't make my own meals.     Making a grilled cheese sandwich was a good first step for me. This week I  didn't face any struggles and challenges, so it gave me confidence in my cooking abilities! One time my mom made me this same sandwich and she forgot to take the clear wrapping off of the cheese. So technically, I'm already better than her.       My plan for this genius hour is to start small and grow each week. I'm well aware that I might make some gross dishes here and there, but it will be  important to not compare my success to other people's c...
