Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

For all of you, it helps your application a lot when you:
-explain why you would like to be curator/how you would benefit others
-what you would curate
-links to specific examples of what you would curate

This will raise your chance of being a curator! (but it still doesn't guarantee you will be it)

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I would like to be curator (: I would feature projects that use good programming and games with not many views. I think there are many creative projects that deserve to be front paged.

I will try to find projects that have lots of creative ideas and fun to watch or do. Curator is a good idea for it gets lots on projects that are creative, and have good use of programming more views.

Some games like this is good: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/SapphireTheCat/2933912 and I want to try find more games like it but have less views to feature

Scratch Team,

I believe curating is one of the most important aspects of scratch. Without it, there would be no way for the community to display what they (we) think. This is an amazing idea and I hope you keep it as a part of scratch.

Hi, I am mmww, and I would like to apply to be a curator. I have been banned, but I believe I have learned from that. (Thank you so much for unbanning me) My favorite kind of projects? Hmmmm..... I love all projects! But my favorites are probably projects that use scratch to the full extent of its abilities. For example: Mesh or 3D projects. I'm always sad when I find an amazing program that has next to no views. I have always desired the ability to show off their talent! If we could do that, all of the never-heard-of amazing scratchers could thrive!

I also believe even the best curator makes a few mistakes along the way, I acknowledge I will too if you select me. But I will try my hardest to minimize them


Sincerely,
    mmww

Hi, I know it's rude to repost. But this is what I have wanted for 3 years.

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

Hi Scratch Team. I posted my reasons, somewhat 5 1/2 months ago, and nothing has happened. So I'm gonna re do this, if that's okay.  smile

I am very responsible, I post respectful, useful comments. I always felt bad for the people who say they are not famous, and are never gonna be (the proof is in the Scratch of the Month project), and I want to change that.

People are kinda mean on project, saying a certain project suck (Proof: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/PR0G4M3R4563/2949687).

My proof is my reason, and popularity is also my reason.

Here is a gallery of a few project I'm willing to curate if they have 50 views or less.

Thanks for your time!

Interested in applying to be a Scratch curator?

We choose curators that represent the diversity of the Scratch Community - girls, boys, gamers, storytellers, animators - Scratchers of all kinds! We especially like to choose Scratchers who have been helpful and contributing members of the Scratch community.

When applying to be curator, it's good to give some thought to the kind of projects you'd like to show. "Cool projects that most people have never seen!" is a nice idea, but it doesn't really give us a good sense of what you like and why. We want to know what makes a project interesting to you.

Try viewing the projects in your favorites, and see if you can find a theme that describes them. Talk about that theme in your post on this thread, and consider providing a few links to good examples of that theme.

For example, I really like projects that use sound input from the microphone to draw interesting designs on the screen. Here's an example of one that I recently added to my favorites: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/MitFan/874786

Scratch On!

p.s. Want to read more about the curator role, including tips on how to make a good application? Check out kayybee's post: "Can I become the curator? and other curator questions."

I would love to a curator. I view scratch projects quite often. I like projects that include good use of variables because it requires skill to do so. It seems like an interesting job. May I join if possible?

Well, you might want to start with proper sentences, then a reason, then tell more about what projects you would curate.

(1) you only have 2 sentences. (2) you aren't using proper punctuation. (3) unless you're not familiar with the language you're using or you're young, you could do a lot better with grammar. I'm not trying to be mean, just trying to help you.

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

Curating would be so much fun to me! As a Scratcher coming back after a few months' break, as well as a Scratch teacher who is teaching his third game design class at the local library next month, I can see talent when I see it. Today I think many projects get front paged because the user is popular. As curator I would curate the best projects from unknown Scratchers. Please choose me  big_smile


Please call me udg or bearsfan, not undefeated.

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I would like to be a curator. So many great projects go unnoticed because no one sees them. I will curate lesser-known projects, especially games.

when gf clicked
forever
repeat until <(Curator) = [BTD6_maker]>
say [Please curate me!]
end
repeat until <not<(Curator) = [BTD6_maker]>>
broadcast [curated projects v] and wait
end
end
