Innovative 3DE Program launches

A new high school program brings professionals from high-demand industries into the classroom for project-based learning and case studies. Called 3DE by Junior Achievement, all ninth-grade students at Como Park Senior High School and Washington Technology Magnet School will learn from several national and local case partners. St. Paul Public Schools plans to expand 3DE programming to additional grade levels within Como Senior and Washington, and to other high schools in the coming years. Funding comes from organizations including WEM Foundation, Securian Financial, Thrivent, The Cargill Foundation and Great Clips. JA North is actively identifying additional funding partners in St. Paul and beyond. (Photo submitted)
