Sorry,
But you already KNOW what you want to do cannot be done with a six year old, 3rd gen iPad.
You really want an iPad with iOS 10 or 11, go out and purchase an iPad 4th generation or a new or refurbished iPad or another “newer” used iPad model capable of running iOS 10 or 11.
The older iPad 2, 3 and 1st gen iPad Mini will never, EVER be able to run iOS 10 or 11.
It is what it is.
Why do you need your iPad 3 to run iOS 10 or 11?
I have a seven year oldiPad 2 and I am still getting regular, daily updates of apps that I am, still using on my newer iOS 10 iPad.
So what app/s do you need that you need that you are not getting under iOS 9.3.5?
I'm sorry, but you are not Thanos and cannot bend reality to your will.
Forcefully or not, an iPad 3 cannot be updated beyond iOS 9.3.5. It simply lacks the hardware to support newer iOS versions.
You can ignore the fact all you want, or disregard any answers stating as much, but it will not change that reality.
It cannot be done.

Black magic would be required and that usually ends badly.
You won't get any other valid answers, you obviously already know that you can't update it beyond iOS 9.3.5 as it doesn't support anything higher.
You are free to ignore those answers. Doing so will not change reality however (that being that your device cannot be updated beyond iOS 9).
Of course, black magic—let alone any magic—is impossible, as it violates the law of conservation of mass.
