Entrepreneur: Shayna Gaspard, Niambi Sampson

3DE is an Atlanta-based organization that was spun out of Junior Achievement. 3DE is an experiential-learning high-school model focused on connecting students to the real world through business leaders, business cases and career readiness. The research-backed model provides scope and sequence from grade 9 to 12, supporting students to build out their skillset inside and outside the classroom over four years. 3DE serves students in grades 9-12 at six high schools in Georgia today. Plans to scale beyond Georgia are under way, with hopes to reach 25 states in 10 years.
