3DE CLUB FAQS

The 3DE Club is an online after-school program for students ages 8-18 where members develop entrepreneurial, leadership, and financial skills through our engaging and interactive online learning platform.

This unique opportunity allows your child to start their entrepreneurial journey early, gaining valuable skills that will give them an edge in their career.

Most importantly, the 3DE Club enhances self-worth and boosts confidence in members' abilities, laying a strong foundation for future success.

The entire program is self-paced and conducted entirely online, with 2+ hours after-school ensuring it does not conflict with your child's studies and other activities.

The program can be paused during exams and vacation travel. Your child will need a computer or laptop with internet access and can participate from anywhere.

After completing the 7-day Free exploratory starter program and understanding the requirements of the 3DE Club, you can register for a One-month trial membership.

During the trial month, they are provided access to the 3DTraining platform, and they learn to create a simple model using the Autodesk Fusion 360 software.

The performance in the trial will allow both you and us to ascertain if your child will be able to participate successfully in the 3DE club activities before they join.

In case we determine that your child is not ready, then they can always reapply to do the trial again at a later date when they are a bit older.
