Science Fair and Scratch

Today, my mom was judging for a science fair and I got to go along and help. I noticed on the map that there was a computer science part, so I took a look over there. I found AI projects including teaching a computer to play chess. I wanted to do the science fair next year, and that inspired me to create a scratch program that learns how to talk from others for next year's fair. This will not only be fun, but it will promote scratch as well. I will start on the project as soon as I have some idea what the programming will look like. I can't have any help, though, so I can't collaborate on this. It will be something i have to do alone. But, do any of you think this possible?


Back. For now. Maybe.

Re: Science Fair and Scratch

I'm very sorry, but that is barely possible with any technology.  sad

With speech it's not possible, but it might be possible with text.

Re: Science Fair and Scratch

Nothing's impossible. I Think it should work  smile  OR heres a suggestion: You could make a scratch project that works with voice commands, like for example: You say "Left" into the microphone and a charactor moves left.

How? There's no way to compare, say, mic input to a pre-recorded .wav file.

Sorry but I don't think that's possible atm. But it's a cool idea  big_smile

Re: Science Fair and Scratch

How about a bigger an better version of those projects where they save things in a list?

Like on that has a ton of info it can save that it repeatedly refers to?

Or, see Jen's Eliza.

Or maybe even, something where the peoples speech is put into a list. Like if it contains "good" put it in a Positive list, and if it says "hate," put it into negative comments.

Then, te next person can use that speech.


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Re: Science Fair and Scratch

I won the science fair at my school this time around. I was the only person who handed in their 2nd term report. I love the apathy in my class.
