Who’s ready for an Arkansas-made unboxing?

We’re kicking off Crazy Cool Things Made in Arkansas, a NEW webinar series taking teachers behind the scenes of products made right here in our state!

Yesterday, we started with some sweet treats (Hostess, Little Debbie and Pop-Tarts), and we have 10 more webinars coming your way featuring everything from rubber bands to duck calls.

And because learning about cool Arkansas-made things is even better when you can open a box of them yourself…25 teachers will receive their own Crazy Cool Things Made in Arkansas box! Each one will feature a fun mix of products, and no two boxes will be exactly alike.

Enter the random drawing by Sept. 3 for your chance to win: bit.ly/CrazyCoolARGiveaway

And just like that, another EA summer is in the books!

80+ trainings later...we learned, explored, connected, and traveled all across Arkansas, and none of it would have been possible without our incredible partners, presenters, hosts, and supporters.

Thank you for helping make Summer 2026 one to remember!

A year of growth. A state of impact. Behind every number is an inspired educator, a classroom reached, and a student better prepared for the future.

From teachers in all 75 Arkansas counties to record-breaking student participation, this year showed just how far great economic and financial education can reach.

We’re proud of what we accomplished together, and even more excited about what comes next.
