This research is driven by the urgent need for interactive learning media that aligns with the unique environment of Nature Schools (Sekolah Alam) to address low student motivation in Science and Social Studies (IPAS). The primary focus of this study is the development of "Kupin" (Smart Cards) as an educational solution for elementary school students. Utilizing the Research and Development (R&D) method, the study involved 30 students as research subjects to measure the media's effectiveness in enhancing learning engagement. Data were collected through expert validation, observations, and motivation questionnaires, which were then analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The results indicate that the development of Kupin not only meets the criteria for technical and content validity but also proves effective in fostering a more dynamic learning atmosphere.
