new kids
Recently joined youngsters
New kids are recent arrivals to a group, organization, or place—especially newcomers who haven't yet learned how things work or established their position: The new kids on the team are still figuring out the plays.
The phrase carries connotations of inexperience and outsider status, whether applied to children at school, employees at a company, or nations entering the global stage.
New kid on the block emphasizes being the latest addition to an established neighborhood or field.
