| My name is Alex Marmura and I'm in grade 8 in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. I began exploring computer programming three years ago and have been doing it ever since. Two years ago I did a project where I made a simulation of bees using artificial intelligence and since I had fun with that i decided to experiment with AI a little more this year. I am also a skateboarder and I spend a lot of time riding around with my friends. |

Computers Can Learn Too
| Challenge: | Information | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Strait | | City: | Antigonish, NS | | School: | St. Andrew Junior School | | Abstract: | The goal of this project was to see if I could program an Artificial Intelligence that could run simulations against a player in areas with varying densities of obstacles, and eventually through many simulations learn the best way to catch a player in each area. Results showed that the AI had developed a reasonable learning curve and succeeded about 85% of the time. |
