Junior Achievement of Tampa Bay and Raymond James will bring together high school students from JA's four launch 3DE schools (St. Pete, Dunedin, Chamberlain and Hillsborough) to compete in its 2nd annual Innovators Showcase event on April 3, 2024, at Raymond James headquarters. This showcase is to highlight the students’ self-started business ideas to leaders in the Tampa Bay business and education community. As part of the 3DE curriculum, these 11th grade students have passionately worked on a yearlong project centered around entrepreneurship, which consisted of developing a tangible business, product or service. At the Innovators Showcase, which will mark the culmination of these projects, the top selected teams will have the invaluable opportunity to present their ambitious business ideas to members of the community in grand fashion. 3DE launched locally in 2020, and is quickly expanding, with the goal of transforming public school education through its private/public partnership. The model provides relevant and experiential learning for high school students, so they will become a better prepared future workforce. The Innovators Showcase offers students firsthand exposure to top business leaders to help further their career aspirations.
