A.8 | Thesis Statement Workshop

A thesis statement should describe your project in just two sentences to someone who knows nothing about it. Consider the following as you write your thesis:

What is the "soul" of your project? Describe the idea of the project in conceptual terms. This should paint a conceptual picture in the readers mind. (1 sentences)

What is the "body" of your project? Describe the basic technical or physical construction of the project. This should NOT go into excessive detail, just provide an overview. Describe the project to someone with no technical knowledge in as few words as possible. The reader should be able to envision what the project looks like.

In the Deep Sea Bots studio, your thesis statement should include two key elements, what ocean issue your project is addressing and what marine animal your robot will draw inspiration from to address that issue.

example:

Cocoon: A shroud that explores human spirituality and the concept of life after death through the use of repetitive religious iconography. Composed of over 300 pieces of laser-cut balsa wood lined with space tape, the icons are arranged using a mathematical strange attractor.    

Deliverable

Make a post in your project folder and add a first draft of your thesis statement in the body of the post.
