Abstract :Since Alpha generation was born in a digital age, simulations, super-reality dimensions, humanoid robots, wearable technological devices, holograms, drone applications and 3D printers are some of the ordinary events in their worlds. The extraordinary thing is that they can touch the soil and acquire the knowledge that can blend the ecological cycle with technology. Questions were asked to the 5th grade students who preferred agriculture workshops or farm schools, who learned by having fun, by questioning, researching and wondering, so that they could develop their creative aspects and live more integrated and respectful with nature. These questions are about agriculture and education. The data obtained using the SPSS program will be interpreted by the children who attend the agricultural workshops and farm schools actively operating in İzmir. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that educational practices that combine mathematics, science and technology in İzmir have a positive effect on the lessons they take at their schools, as Alpha Generation learns about agriculture and nature. In addition, the Agricultural Workshop will be able to support the creative powers of children. Another finding is that it can be shown that different segmentations may emerge in the Agro tourism market with Agricultural trainings.
