A garden shared grows larger than any garden kept alone.
EARTHKIN is an interactive learning experience built by Torch Leadership Academy — a program that develops student leaders who become creative change agents in their communities.
By tending your garden, you explore the principles at the heart of every TORCH program: ecological stewardship, reciprocal relationships, seasonal patience, and the interdependence that sustains thriving communities.
Indigenous Roots
The plants in EARTHKIN — including the Three Sisters (corn, beans, squash), sweetgrass, sunflower, bergamot, and cattail — are part of Indigenous agricultural and medicinal traditions that predate European contact by thousands of years. We use this imagery with respect for the Indigenous peoples who developed, stewarded, and continue to practice these relationships with land. We encourage learners to seek out Indigenous voices. Robin Wall Kimmerer's Braiding Sweetgrass is one accessible starting point.
For Educators
EARTHKIN is being developed as a classroom tool for discussions on leadership, ecology, and community. Lesson plan integrations are coming. Contact Torch Leadership Academy to become an early educator partner.
Your support keeps EARTHKIN free for every student.
Privacy & Terms
EARTHKIN stores garden progress in your browser and syncs gameplay progress with a secure Supabase database so your garden can return across sessions. Community board posts and feedback are reviewed before they appear publicly. If you choose to enable real local weather, your device's approximate location is shared with Open-Meteo (a free, open-source weather API) to fetch current conditions. That location is not stored by TORCH.
EARTHKIN is intended for users aged 13 and older. By using this application you agree not to submit offensive, harmful, or misleading content. TORCH reserves the right to update these terms as the product evolves.
