Last school year, Brennan tackled developing Tic-Tac-Toe for 2 players using HTML, JavaScript and CSS. It was really fun for me to help him with the project and learning 3 new computer languages.
This year, he decided he wanted to delve into Artificial Intelligence and add a computer player to his Tic-Tac-Toe game. It was a unique and exciting experience to help him process through concepts and watch the gears turn as he tried to figure out what our minds ask ourselves when we play Tic-Tac-Toe.
The outcome is quite fun. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out on his website, brennan.thatoneplace.net
The next round will be held at BYU in March. We've never been this far in a "fair" before, so we're both nervous and excited. Apparently there are cash and other prizes at stake as well; and rumor has it, there might be companies present that look to give scholarships for interesting computer engineering projects. It would be awesome for one to take an interest in our aspiring engineer!
Brennan and I would like to thank all of you who helped "beta test" his project and provide feedback. We are excited to see how he does at the Region Science & Engineering Fair!
Congratulations Brennan! You rock!
