Laura Plourde
I'm a Mechanical Engineering Student at the University of Waterloo who loves everything to do with twisty puzzles. In my mind, puzzles are a perfect blend of art and mechanical design. Being a part of PolyTwist has helped me develop my design abilities and personal style. My favourite part about participating in events is seeing people, young and old, who gain interest in puzzles.
Julian Awad
I'm a high school student who is passionate about twisty puzzles and 3D printing. Ever since being introduced to the Rubik's Cube and all its variants, I fell in love with the beauty of design and function. Since then, I have participated in many speedcubing competitions and became a part of PolyTwist which has allowed me to expand my horizons and opened the door to many opportunities in the maker community.
Amun Chawla
I'm a high school student with a love for the design and logic of everything I come across, and being a part of Polytwist, and the maker community as a whole, has been a dream come true allowing me to put all that thought into creating something new and exiting rather than retracing other's footsteps.
We are taking the Rubik's Cube to the Next Level!
Have you ever wanted to play with a Rubik's cube in the shape of a monkey? We did. So we made one.
We are here to show you that the Rubik's Cube and similar puzzles are not just for nerds.
What inspired you to make this project?:
We used to be competitive Rubik's Cube solvers. We were always fascinated by 3D printing and prototyping processes. We decided to combine both of these things together, and PolyTwist Designs came to be what it is today.
