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 AI-driven world.
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.
We invite forward-thinking foundations, corporations, and philanthropists to join a critical movement to introduce entrepreneurship education in schools and prepare students to succeed in the turbulent AI-driven future.

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".
- Thomas Arnett
The Clayton Christensen Institute is a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank dedicated to improving the world through disruptive innovation.
