What is it about?
We investigated children’s nature engagement in childcare centre settings, with a focus on food gardens and a view to understanding how digital technology might support it. We highlight technology design opportunities that use slow noticing to bridge hidden to noticed, connect part to pattern, and attune from tempo to flow over time.
