3DE Market Expo

Our 11th grade students proudly pitched and showcased the businesses they created at the 3DE Expo just before spring break! The Expo provided an opportunity for them to present their concepts and gain valuable feedback. We’re so proud of their hard work and entrepreneurial spirit!!

From the energy in the gym to the professionalism our students showed from start to finish, this event reminded us exactly why the 3DE model is something special here at Waltrip. Congratulations to all of our award winners!
