The You CAN Do the Rubik's Cube! campaign objective is to not only share the secrets of solving the Rubik's Cube with young people, but to also encourage them to help others to do the same. At the Washington Science and Engineering festival last month lots of school got together to compete in a YCDTRC competition.
