Botswana Learning Experience (ABLE) is an international collaborationbetween two STEM institutions that engages engineering students in solving real-worldproblems using a problem-based learning approach and service-based learning pedagogy. TheABLE project aims to create a collaborative learning environment for engineering students inBotswana and the US by utilizing augmented reality and Onshape technologies to develop theirvisualization and 3D modeling skills. The project provides an eight-week co-curricular programfocusing on problem-based learning approaches to address authentic real-world problems,particularly in Botswana.
