Paula Claudio

Paola Claudio is a first-year Bachelor’s student in Information and Communication at KTH. She discovered speedcubing in 7th grade, and ever since she has been fascinated by solving the Rubik’s Cube faster and more efficiently. With five years of experience, she averages under 12 seconds per solve, with a personal best of just 5 seconds!

You won’t be learning how to solve a Rubik’s Cube or play chess from scratch—but rather how to spot key patterns that make problem-solving easier. By training your brain to recognize familiar structures, you’ll develop skills that apply to strategy games, exams, puzzles, and everyday decision-making. For example, we will practise solving Sudoku by recognising patterns. No prior experience needed—just curiosity!

Fika will be served!
