Children Are Born Creative.
What Happens Next?

Creativity comes naturally to young children and is the foundation of innovation.
Yet research shows it peaks around age 5 and steadily declines, often due to societal pressures that favor conformity over curiosity.

Keep Your Child's Creative Spark Alive

The 3D Entrepreneurs Club (3DE Club) gives young minds the tools and wings to let their imagination soar—combining hands-on tech like 3D printing with real-world skills in leadership, communication, and financial literacy to turn creative ideas into real-world impact.

EDUCATION 4.0 SKILLS

We believe every child, regardless of background, deserves the tools and mindset to create, lead, and launch their ideas into the world - not just consume them.

3DE Club empowers children ages 8–12 to develop education 4.0 skills like creative problem-solving, collaboration, and adaptability — while building a resilient entrepreneurial mindset from an early age.

Give your child a head-start by building leadership, presentation, and financial literacy skills—essential tools to succeed in the future.

How do I know that my child will ENJOY the experience?

The best way to find out is to let them try it!

We invite your child to join a free 2-hour Toy & Product Design Workshop—a hands-on, creative session where they’ll explore 3D design, build something fun, and connect with other curious young minds.

It’s a chance to see their imagination come to life—and experience the magic for yourself.
