Children in the United States often experience high levels of stress when they move. They may feel a sense of loss of belonging and struggle to adjust to their new surroundings. Although there are many products and digital applications available to help adults during a move, there are fewer resources available to help children with this transition.

But what if we could turn this experience into an adventure through the use of an app and other resources that encourage children to safely explore their new surroundings.
