CUBX
The Challenge
Apple's WWDC Scholarship Program enables students and new developers to request the chance to attend the conference with most of the expenses covered. In my first year applying for the scholarship, I created CUBX, a puzzle carefully made for players who like the genre - or for those who need some moments of visual tranquility.

The Process
I started by brainstorming and bringing references of well-known puzzles. The main challenge was on how to join those interactions into one experience. So I took the dynamic out of the Rubiks cube and merged with the two-dimensionality of the Tangram. After generating some alternatives, I had the first prototype made out of paper and scissor, from what would later become the CUBX.
The Result
Finally, I started coding and testing my playground with different potential users, from colleagues to random people I encountered. The result was ten really busy days, with a lot of development knowledge acquired, and a scholarship to WWDC19.
