3D ENTREPRENEURS CLUB
Fostering the Next Generation of Changemakers in the AI Era
A Project of Social Good Fund - a 501(c)(3) Organization | Powered by 3DTraining.com
OUR MISSION
3DE Club is a non-profit with the mission to prepare our youth to thrive in the AI era by developing critical Education 4.0 skills such as problem solving, collaboration, and adaptability.
Our deeper purpose is to empower youth with a resilient entrepreneurial mindset and inspire them to harness the power of technology to create a positive impact in the world.
OUR APPROACH
3D Entrepreneurs Club partners with foundations, corporations, and government agencies to launch 3D Innovation hubs in schools, youth centers, and children's museums across the United States.
The innovation hubs are a fun and interactive online after-school environment, where school students' team up with friends to launch mini-businesses using innovative technologies like 3D printing, AR/VR, and AI.
Think of it as a modern, digital twist on the classic lemonade stand—where kids gain real-life skills like leadership, communication, and financial literacy from an early age.

“Reinventing Education in the AI Era"
Bobby Roy, founder of the 3D Entrepreneurs Club (3DE Club) and a parent of a teenager, shares the growing concern of parents everywhere: our current education system is falling short in preparing students for a future dominated by AI and humanoid robots.
We believe it's imperative for young people to cultivate a resilient entrepreneurial mindset from an early age—equipping them to not only adapt but lead in a world where traditional jobs may vanish, yet boundless opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship will arise.
3DE Club plans to launch 3D Innovation Hubs in schools, youth centers, and children’s museums nationwide, providing every child—irrespective of their background—with the tools and mindset they need to not just survive, but thrive in the world they will inherit.
We invite forward-thinking foundations, corporations, and philanthropists to join a critical movement to empower the next generation of changemakers—young leaders who will drive innovation and economic prosperity in communities across the U.S. and beyond.

STUDENT PRESENTATIONS
Meet 11-year-old Allanna who inspired us to launch 3DE Club
At just 11, Alanna saw 3D modeling and printing not just as a creative medium, but as a tool to make a difference.
She created impressive projects like a left-handed thermos mug, cat-themed phone case, and a bumblebee drone.
But what truly stood out was her desire: to one day use 3D printing and nanotechnology to help cancer patients.
Her creativity and sense of purpose inspired Bobby Roy, founder of 3DTraining.com, to launch the 3D Entrepreneurs Club.

3DE CLUB REVIEW
"The 3DE Club offers students a unique hands-on experience in entrepreneurship.
Unlike most programs that rely on basic curricula or simplified simulations, 3DE actually guides students in creating, marketing, and selling real products.
It’s a powerful way to turn learning into real-world action".
