Cubing Club held its first competition on Nov. 8 after school, allowing students to experience a competitive atmosphere and to test their cubing skills against others. “I’m not much of an experienced cuber,” junior Samrudh Shenoy said, “but I liked [the competition] because it was my first opportunity to really be in a competitive cubing environment and have the cube scrambled by a separate person, have my own timer, a cover for the cube [and] all the competition standard techniques.” Check out link in bio for more!
