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

I've seen users that are even in their late teens. I don't know if Scratch really does have an age limit. It's supposed to be meant for all ages. But still, there are some inappropriate projects out there. As long as their parents allow them to use Scratch and see the projects that would get flagged, then that's fine.  wink

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

I don't know. I'm 7, so I don't have to worry.
EDIT: About an age limit, I mean. Also, I wouldn't recommend Python. Try C++. Yes, I am a computer geek.

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

If you go to the Scratch stats page, you can see the general age range of Scratchers... I saw on there that some 50 year-olds were scratching! LOL  roll  Yay for Scratch worldwide!

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

I think it needs no age limit, but people should at least leave a warning about their game in the game notes. Ex: Rated 10+ for cartoon violence and guns or something like that. So people know what they are about to play. Woo hoo 50th post!

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

Not so much age limit as maturity limit.

I've seem 12-13 year olds being complete morons,
while I'm sure there are civilized younger members.

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

I think it's rather funny that there are 0 year-olds using scratch (according to the statistics). Personally, I doubt that any are truly 0  smile

How old are you?

I'm 10.  tongue

Anyway, about people saying there are inappropriate projects, those aren't supposed to be there, so I would say Scratch is for anyone who can understand it.


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

I do not believe there is an age limit for Scratch. It is for anyone, so anyone can use it.

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

I think that having an age limit is completely pointless. Have you heard of the term "faking your age"? It's why there are so many 7 year olds on facebook(including me)and also on youtube(including me). Anyway, it's easy to use and hardly anyone ever posts something that is not suitable for young kids... and those get flagged and deleted anyway  smile

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

There is no real age limit. Although the majority of users are 8-11 year olds, there's people like me in the mid teens.
