3DE is a new way to do High School where we connect schools to the business world through real-life case challenges. We were grateful to have volunteers from Educators Credit Union on-hand to provide business coaching as students developed their solutions to the challenge.
We want to thank our volunteers for making the 3DE model possible! Sharing your time with our students makes a significant difference. Interested in volunteering? Please reach out to Sarah Uselding. Want to learn more about 3DE? https://loom.ly/dtZ_lrQ.
