Creating a puzzle cube is a fun and interesting project, and the result will be fun for all ages

Step 1:

First, you should create ideas for you pieces. the way i did this was with 27 small block that made my cube, and took them apart without gluing them together.

Once you have done that, then you can glue the pieces to gether to make the pieces.

PLTW is a high school engineering program. Intro to Eng. Design is the first class. Civil Eng. and Architecture is in there, and Digital Logic. You get credit for college engineering classes. I was in it a few years ago, and this puzzle cube was our first project. I used the exact same process as you, so it looks very familiar!
