Re: Scratch... What's the age limit?

There really is no age limit, although some projects aren't as appropriate for some ages, and projects like that are frowned upon by the Scratch community.

Re: Scratch... What's the age limit?

Scratch is meant for all ages, but I remember seeing somewhere it was meant for ages 8+. I'm not sure if it applies anymore.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

I think that's true to some point.  I don't think projects should be flagged just because of a small amount of cartoon blood or a word or two of very mild swearing.  But I don't think Scratch should become like Youtube with all the cussing and bullying and increased amount of (bleh) Rickrolls.

Maybe, but you've published no projects.

That is what I absolutely hate about Youtube. There is so much cursing and rudeness, and they even feature videos about sexual topics... I am so glad that Scratch has such a friendly environment. that is one of the reasons I love it.

Me too.  Youtube can give you a good LOL once in awhile, but It's not really that friendly.

There's no age limit to scratch.

Re: Scratch... What's the age limit?

I don't really think there is an age limit but I would probably say 7+ (besides the fact that there are a lot of innapropriate projects out there).

No you're not!  There is no upper or lower age limit for using Scratch or the Scratch website.  Go ahead and have fun for your whole life  smile

Re: Scratch... What's the age limit?

I've gotten an adult to get on Scratch and I teach them it but they don't ever go on unless it's teaching day.  tongue  (And even then they don't do much.  tongue  ) Any suggestions?

Re: Scratch... What's the age limit?

On Facebook I know you have to be 18 or over(I'm only 11 years old) but with Scratch there is no official "out of bounds", although the age group recommended is between 6 and 10.

Re: Scratch... What's the age limit?

I'd say them grouping is much wider than that! Maybe 6-14 or more.
