School of Dreams (122)

The School of Dreams team (#122) is from Los Lunas. This year they've submitted a project titled Liner Maze Solving Algorithms.

Linear Maze Solving Algorithm

Team: 122

School: School of Dreams Academy

Area of Science: Mathmatics

Proposal: Our project will focus on the use of math in real-world situations. We will model the solving of a two dimensional linear maze by a drone with artificial intelligence. To do this, we will use a maze solving algorithm that is specifically for linear mazes. In the real world, this could be used to help find the most efficient route for an aerial rescue team along with many other similar situations.

Liner Maze Solving Algorithms Team: 122

School: School of Dreams Academy

Area of Science: Mathematics

Problem Definition:
Rescue teams need a quicker more efficient way to reach rescue victems.

Problem Solution:
We are trying to model solving a two dimensional maze using artificial intelligence. It will aid in fining more efficient routes for aerial rescue teams. It will also save time for rescue teams by finding the quickest route to their destination.

Progress to date:
We have researched maze solving algorithms and come up with several different ways to go about creating our model. We have not made any significant progress on our actual code.

Expected Results:
We are expecting that our model will go as planned and we will hopefully aid in developing technology that aid in developing routes for rescue teams.

Introduction
Hello my name is Ben Turrubiates I am a Computer Science major at New Mexico Tech. I study computer science because I am interested in programming, and security. I hope to have a career in the information security field someday.

Progress
I think you need to figure out how you are going to model this problem. What language are you going to use for the model? Are you going to do comparison of algorithms, or are you going to pick one?

Mentors
I'm glad to see you have a mentor.

Model
I do not see a specified model, however I suggest Netlogo as a possibility.

Face to Face Evaluation
Remember you have a face-to-face evaluation at the end of this month.

Utilize this Judges' rubric used for for the Expo judging, in April, to organize your posts.

I am looking forward to the final project.
