On April 22, 2006, the first Harker Research Symposium was held. I participated with a Student Display on the subject of an algorithm developed by Dr. Donald Knuth called the Dancing Links Algorithm. I created a Sudoku solver that implemented the algorithm.

Hope is a dimension of the spirit. It is not outside us, but within us. When you lose it, you must seek it again within yourself and in people around you -- not in objects or even events.
