In the teeny-tiny, but power-packed state of Rhode Island, a motley crew of clever kids band together, diving headfirst into the dazzling world of STEM/STEAM. Our hero, a spectacle-wearing seagull named Specs, swoops over the Ocean State narrating the magical tales of these mini Einsteins. From the sandy beaches of Newport to the bustling streets of Providence, Specs takes us on a journey across the state, introducing us to his friends. In the city, there's Lily. She's a whiz at coding, always with her head buried in her laptop, creating worlds out of binary. Then there's Mikey, from the rolling farmlands, who spends his days dreaming up sustainable farming technologies. He's turned his barn into a laboratory, much to the sheep's surprise! Don't forget about the aquatic duo, Sam and Sally, who spend their time exploring the marine life in Narraganset Bay. When they're not snorkeling, they're inventing gadgets to keep the ocean clean, because, well, nobody likes a dirty playground! And then, there's Evie from the universities, always seen with a hefty physics book, challenging the laws of nature. She's so absorbed in her experiments that she once accidentally levitated her cat, Whiskers. In Rhode Island, the smallest state with the biggest dreams, these STEM/STEAM enthusiasts are diving into a realm of endless possibilities. Each day is a new adventure, filled with bizarre experiments, tangled equations, and dizzying discoveries. Specs squawks in delight, "Here in Rhode Island, it's not the size that matters, it's the size of your ideas!"
