Here at Sprout, we value two things above all else - sustainability and creativity. We believe that the best thing about a kids’ magazine is hearing what kids themselves think, imagine and create. We want every article, story, poem, drawing and idea submitted to Sprout to be original and created by the person submitting it.

While we understand that AI can be a useful tool, it also has a huge environmental cost. AI systems run off huge data centres which require significant amounts of electricity and water to operate. Because Sprout focuses on caring for our planet and considering ways to reduce our environmental footprints, we are unable to publish any works which have been generated using AI.
