One of our teachers, an English teacher, actually, just posted a virtual speed cubing challenge to the high schoolers via their broadcast journalism news broadcast
What a coinkydink! Speedcubing seems to be one of the �nerd-ish� activities which impresses most people. DS carried his speedcube everywhere for years and people would stare as he did his sub10 or one handed solves. (ETA: an advantage of speedcubing is that practice can be done entirely in otherwise wasted gaps of time such as commuting, waiting at the shops, accompanying parents on errands, so it�s a great boredom reliever and also doesn�t take up valuable time when the child should/could be doing necessary/important activities).
Their school�s PDH/PE dept posted an assignment on Fri requiring students to learn a new physical skill. DD12 decided she would learn to juggle and has been practising all weekend. She can now juggle three balls - thanks YouTube!
