What if your students could see a stronger connection between what they learn in school and their future?
3DE® by Junior Achievement helps schools make learning relevant by connecting academic concepts to real-world business challenges. Students collaborate, think critically, and present solutions while building skills they can use beyond the classroom.
The impact? A +42.6% shift in students seeing the relevance of school, based on 2025–26 student perception and school data.
Junior Achievement of Eastern Iowa is looking to partner with additional schools to bring 3DE to more students.
School leaders and educators: Let’s explore how 3DE could become part of your school’s curriculum. Message us to start the conversation.
