Culminating the 3DE Case Experience

You've probably noticed we've been talking a lot about 3DE by Junior Achievement this year. Can you tell we're excited? We think you will be, too, as you continue to see how this innovative high school learning model brings professionals from high-demand industries into the classroom for project-based learning and case studies. 

This is the first year of the Junior Achievement North 3DE partnership with Saint Paul Public Schools. 3DE by Junior Achievement is an innovative high school curriculum that brings professionals from high-demand industries into the classroom for project-based learning and case studies.

These experiential learning opportunities enhance students’ abilities to connect what they’re doing in the classroom with real-world concepts.

In November, nearly 300 ninth-grade students from Washington Technology Magnet High School had their first off-site culminating event at Cargill headquarters in Wayzata.

Students spent the day exploring the campus, learning about the various careers and entry points from inspiring Cargill employees, and getting a taste of what it would be like to work for a global employer that touches multiple industries. A few top student groups were also able to present their case findings to judges from Cargill in the company auditorium, as they were tasked with helping Cargill decide the right nonprofit to help build the next generation into their technology talent pipeline.
