A peculiar object appears to have landed at Pao School’s Secondary Division cafeteria. Move closer, and you’ll notice it resembles the school logo! The feat of ingenuity has already attracted the attention of many students and teachers.
As it turns out, this was the work of William Hu, Pao School’s Rubik’s Cube Club President: ‘At first, I didn’t have the idea to use Rubik’s cubes to put together an image, until I saw the Minions (from the Despicable Me franchise) made this way, and I was immediately inspired!’ This deceptively simple-looking logo in fact required 169 (13*13) cubes, a time-consuming task that took 1.5 hours. However, the most difficult part, according to Hu, was choosing whether to use a dark or light green to represent the logo’s tree and border.
Established last September, Pao School’s Rubik’s Cube Club is a place for Pao School’s students with a passion for puzzles. In this relatively short time, they have already scored numerous gold medals for their performance in Rubik’s Cube competitions regulated by the World Cube Association. Hu himself is a three-time champion – he has already ranked third in China, ninth in Asia and 47th in the world, incredible accomplishments for a secondary school student!
This and Pao School’s many clubs accurately embody the school and its mission to develop each student as a whole person and encourage them to actively participate in various activities that help them to explore, discover and cultivate interests.
