How Can I Help New Scratchers?

Hi. I want to help new scratchers, just like me when I was new. (And I kinda still am, regardless of my rank) I want to help them somehow without just saying "Welcome" and looking at there projects, and giving constructive critism, or just presing that "Love-It" button. But how? I have already made a thread called "New Scratchers Tips 'n' Tricks" Yet, I feel there must be more to it. I can't be a curator yet, so if they make a good project I could promote them, so what can I do? Should I make a club for new scratchers to find help?

Re: How Can I Help New Scratchers?

There are many ways to help!  And it's great that you are looking for ways to do it. I think probably the best way to help would be to add them as friends and then look at their work and help guide them to projects and tutorials that help them achieve their goals (mentor them).  Or, form a club or collaboration aimed at beginners - that would be pretty cool  smile

Think back on when you were a New Scratcher - what would you have liked?

Just try and give advice wherever possible, whether it's constructive criticism on a project or answering a question in the forums. Also, as Paddle said, try doing a collab or something. ^^

Make a tutorial or something like that. View my Scratch Introduction project for a type of tutorial.
