👋🏻 Hi, I'm Cube Mom. I live in the city of Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada. In this first episode of Speedcubing 101, I share how my cuber got into cubing. Starting with episode 2, each episode will guide you in supporting your cuber in learning to solve puzzles, navigating competitions and making cubing friends and memories!  The Speedcubing 101 episodes will become YouTube episodes in the future.
