Startup Name: WhizForest Tagline: Where Curiosity Grows Like Trees! Concept: WhizForest is a phygital (physical + digital) learning ecosystem for kids aged 5–12 that blends nature, storytelling, and STEAM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Art, Math) learning using “TreeHouses” — themed monthly adventure kits combined with an interactive app. How It Works: Monthly TreeHouse Kits: Each month, kids receive a physical box themed around a forest creature, world culture, or science concept (e.g., “Time-Traveler Owl,” “Rainforest Robots,” “Firefly Physics”). The kit includes: DIY projects Illustrated storybook Nature-based experiments Eco-missions (e.g., plant a seed, build a bug hotel) The WhizForest App: AR brings characters in the storybook to life Earn “Forest Points” by completing challenges Kids unlock new realms in the digital forest Socially safe "forest circles" to share projects with peers Parental Dashboard: Parents track learning progress, get activity ideas, and receive monthly growth reports based on soft skills, curiosity levels, and creative thinking. Eco Learning Model: Every box is sustainable. For each box purchased, a real tree is planted. Kids can name it and track its growth using satellite maps via the app. Why It’s Unique: Storytelling + Sustainability at its core Gamified Learning without screen addiction Builds empathy for nature and others Scalable via community libraries, schools, and NGOs Cross-lingual and culturally inclusive content Revenue Model: Monthly subscription (INR 499–999) App freemium with in-app rewards Partnerships with eco-NGOs and schools Merchandise & digital collectibles Vision: To grow 1 million little eco-thinkers by 2030 who will not just learn — but care about the world.
