The Cube and the Cortex: Building Cognitive Resilience through Puzzles, 3D Motor Skills and Neuroplasticity

​Join us this September for an interactive workshop bridging cognitive science and hands-on problem solving. Led by Paula Zheng, a researcher from the National Institute of Education (NIE) and the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, this session explores how tactile, 3D motor skill games such as the Rubik's cube stimulate neuroplasticity.

​Whether you are an academic, a student, or simply curious about brain health, you will discover the neurological mechanics behind cognitive resilience. We will dive into how manipulating 3D motor puzzles acts as a rigorous workout for the brain, enhancing focus, spatial awareness and mental adaptability. Walk away with practical, neuroscience based strategies to actively strengthen your mind through continuous, structured engagement, beginning with a single session and continuing in fifteen minutes a day. Cubes and all learning materials are provided, and no experience is needed.
