In the smallest state of America, Rhode Island, or as some like to call it, "Ridiculously Interesting," something incredibly cool is brewing. You see, in this mini yet mighty state, kids are not just playing video games, they are creating them! They are not just watching YouTube, they're starting their own channels. They are not just eating cookies, they are baking and selling them, or as our imaginary friend, Eddie the Entrepreneurial Elephant, would say, "They're turning dough into dough." Eddie is a giant, fun-loving elephant with a knack for business who moved from Africa to Rhode Island. He is passionate about entrepreneurship and loves hanging out with these young, brilliant minds. Eddie has a huge trunk, but it's not just for show. He uses it to carry around his "Trunk of Tricks," which is filled with all sorts of tools, tips, and ideas for starting a successful business. You'd find him in schoolyards, cheering as these tiny tycoons sell handmade bracelets. At the beach, he'd be tasting delicious homemade popsicles sold by a 10-year-old. Or at a local fair, applauding as a 12-year-old showcases her app designed to help the environment. The kids of Rhode Island, with their entrepreneurial spirits, have taken Eddie's motto to heart: "Think Big, Start Small, Act Now!" In this Lilliputian state, where the clams are sweet and the beaches are never more than a short drive away, these kids are proving that size truly doesn't matter. They're dreaming big, they're starting small, and boy oh boy, they're acting now. So, while Rhode Island may be the smallest state, it's making a huge splash in the world of entrepreneurship, one kid business at a time. Eddie couldn't be prouder, and neither could we.
