Abstract
What is an Abstract? An abstract is a short summary of your entire project written after you
finish. Write it last, but place it first.
Rules for Writing Your Abstract:
1. Keep it between 100–150 words — no more, no less.
2. Write in complete sentences using your own words.
3. Do NOT copy from other sections of your proposal.
4. Do NOT include opinions, images, or references.
5. Cover all four parts: (1) the problem, (2) your solution, (3) how you tested it, and (4) what
you found.

Your abstract goes here. Write it after you complete the rest of the proposal. Remember: 100–150 words,
four parts, your own words.
