Jonathan D'Cruz of Ascension Catholic School won the Computer Science Merit Award at the Florida State Science Fair for his project "Using the Tools of Artificial Intelligence To Forecast Stock Prices"
He also won the US Navy Science Award from the Office of Naval Research. It was a busy week for Jonathan - Later in the week he joined his Ascension teammate Jacob Heidel on the Cocoa Beach Hurricanes U-14 Team in the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) YBOA State Level Basketball Tournament in Jacksonville. Jonathan quipped, "Playing the stock market for a competitive science fair project is just like playing basketball - You have to deal with the aggressive Technical Analysts,the cerebral Rational Analysts and the defensive Fundamental Analysts in the stock market - they are making all kinds of moves all the time and Artificial Intelligence helps keep them in check. Just like in basketball...where we have to deal with the forwards, the center and the guards and our intense point guard training helps keep them in check...AAU basketball was a lot different and definitely more competitive than inter-school basketball back home. I think our Cocoa Beach High School freshman basketball team got a head start for the Fall season this Summer. I felt proud to be a member of the award- winning Brevard Schools' contingent at the Florida State Science Fair and this really pumped me up when I played for the Cocoa Beach Hurricanes in the State-Level AAU YBOA Basketball Tournament later in the same week" Both Jonathan and Jacob will join the International Baccalaureate program at Cocoa Beach Jr/Sr High School next year.
