Explore how Asset-Based Learning Environments (ABLE) foster international collaboration in STEAM education. This NSF-funded initiative connects students worldwide, promoting inclusive innovation across diverse fields. Learn how ABLE shapes the future of global collaboration and nurtures tomorrow's innovators.

Outline

We will present an overview of the ABLE project , including a brief history of the initiative as it evolved from the International Community of Collaborative Content Creation (IC4), how it developed through various iterations, and where it is today. (5 minutes) We will explian how the participants communicate, collaborate, and work together. (3 minutes) We will show images and videos of student-created projects. (15-20 minutes running continously at the poster session). We plan to present this information through peer-to-peer interaction where we will answer questions, gather feedback, and listen to how particiants connect their classrooms/students to others globally. Discussions will be open-ended so that participants can ask questions and make connections to their own experiences.
