A free, ad-free app for
Montessori-style cosmic education
In Montessori elementary classrooms, cosmic education starts with big stories — how the universe began, how life appeared — so that every later lesson has a place in one connected picture. “You Are Here” offers a gentle, hands-on version of that picture for younger children (4–8): the universe, the Earth, and the child, all in one continuous zoom.

Interconnection, made visible
The whole before the parts
Children see the universe first, then zoom into the galaxy, the Solar System and Earth — so planets, continents and countries are never isolated facts.
Follow the child
No levels to clear and no timers pushing ahead. A child can linger on Saturn, fly to a country, or tap the heart and feel their own heartbeat.
Short, calm sessions
No ads, autoplay or streak pressure. A grown-up can set a 15–60 minute limit. Everything is narrated, so pre-readers can work independently.
A simple sequence to try
- Day 1 — The story: run the journey from the universe to “you” together, then draw nested circles
- Day 2 — The address: complete the cosmic address worksheet; read it aloud from the outside in
- Day 3 — The Solar System: build the Solar System in the app (drag or tap the planets into their orbits)
- Day 4 — Earth and people: fly to countries and hear their greetings; talk about who lives where
- Day 5 — The body: travel inside the body, follow the food journey, and breathe along with the lungs
