In an era of rapid industrialization, the link between agriculture and children has diminished significantly. EcoSprout is a smart modular toy that teaches children the concepts of agricultural cycles and resource management through activity-based games. It helps them gain important agricultural knowledge while simulating real-life farming activities and stimulates logical thinking. Our user study results show that this interactive learning methodology significantly increases the engagement and comprehension of key agricultural concepts in children, thus sparking their interest in nature and agriculture.
