H1689: Learn How to Solve the Rubik's Cube in under 5 minutes!!! in Splash! 2008 (Nov. 22 - 23, 2008)
Do you want to learn how to solve a Rubik's Cube in under 5 minutes? It's easier than you may think, and it's a very impressive trick among friends. The first 60 to 90 minutes of the class will focus on simply getting you to solve the Rubik's cube for the first time. After that, we will spend the remaining time improving your time and memorizing how to solve it. If you already know the basics of how to solve a Rubik's cube, feel free to come over for tips on improving your speed. Currently, I average around 45 seconds to solve a scrambled cube and I can certainly help you get faster. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at thakkar.m@neu.edu


C1728: Introduction to Programming using Second Life in Splash! 2008 (Nov. 22 - 23, 2008)
Learn to program in LSL, the scripting language of Second Life, an online virtual world. We will build and script several objects including a door, a talking parrot, a rocket, and maybe some other things too. This class will assume that no prior programming knowledge is known, so we'll be starting from scratch. The LSL scripting language is very similar to C, and this course will be an easy and fun way to begin programming.
