Shafaq News – Al-Sulaymaniyah
Al-Sulaymaniyah Province in Iraqi Kurdistan hosted Iraq’s first 2025 national Rubik’s Cube championship on Saturday, bringing together about 150 children from across the country.
Shini Bahaa al-Din, the event supervisor, told Shafaq News that the one-day contest uses a time-based system with stages that increase in difficulty, and the title goes to the fastest solver.
She added that early engagement in such challenges can inspire interest in innovation-driven fields, including artificial intelligence, programming, and engineering.
