The Sprout Project

Building a new generation of environmentally aware kids by instilling gardening as a hobby

Gardening is a multi-sensory activity that helps kids gain knowledge and be fascinated by the wonders of the plant world! It is a hobby that can only be learned by getting their hands dirty in the soil. The ‘sprout’ project aims to help kids learn about gardening by providing fun activities that help them grow plants and learn about their environment. Hence sowing the seeds of awareness and responsibilities towards the environment. , the project sows

Problem Statement

The scarce availability of age-appropriate learning material that is both educational and fun for kids has led to fewer kids taking up gardening as a hobby.

Brief

To construct a program that encourages children to embrace gardening as a pastime, thereby connecting them more deeply with their surrounding environment.

Design system & Solution

The proposed design system that is planned in 2 phases

Phase 1- Initiating

Initiating the interest in growing plants through an Activity Kit

Phase 2-Retaining

Retaining the interest by developing a Gamified Gardening App

Go to the Phase 2

Research

1.Interviews and Surveys

Manoj

Parent (no gardening experience)

"The plants given should be able to grow withing weeks or else the child loose interest"

Karthik

INSIGHTS

Should be fun and entertaining- having a character could be helpful

Journaling the growth of the plant can be helpful to retain interest

Making it a DIY kit and using discard school supply material

Bringing in the concept of eating what you grow should be incorporated
