In project-based learning, students actively explore a topic within a real-world context and collaborate withother students to problem-solve, analyze data, and develop an end-product7.Problem-Based LearningProblem-based learning is similar to project-based learning in that students actively and collabo-ratively explore a topic in context. In contrast to project-based learning, students are more fo-cused on the process of learning and developing a solution to an unsolved problem and are notrequired to have an end-product7.Design ThinkingDesign thinking is a framework for innovating solutions to problems. One of the unique tenetsof design thinking is that it is driven by empathy for the user. In the specific
