Puzzle
Code Cube
Clue:
I’m a cube, yet I carry code.
Not letters or scripts, but shapes in a mode.
When you scan me, the truth I unfold,
I store the link, the text, the bold.
Find my cousin on every poster these days—
Black and white, in pixel arrays.
What am I?
Explanation:
The object is a QR Code, which is a square matrix used to store information that can be scanned. It’s widely used in digital and physical spaces to encode links, data, or prompts.
Challenge
Light & Shadow Science
Theme: Optics and Perception
Objective: Create and observe shadow illusions.
Challenge:
Using simple objects (paper cutouts, pencils, or your fingers), experiment with different light sources (like flashlights or sunlight through a window) to create distorted or surprising shadows on a wall. Try shaping a butterfly or an animal.
Extra Challenge:
Can you recreate any known optical illusions using just shadows? For instance, create a scene where a smaller object casts a larger shadow than a bigger one by changing light angles. Document what you observed and why the illusion occurred—was it distance, light angle, or object shape?
