Have about fifteen fun projects, then click the star button, then go through the guidelines, then confirm on the last page, and that's it!

Never mind i just became a full scratcher, but how much do you have to have to become part of the scratch team?

It's extra rare, but possible. I don't know what it takes, sorry!

What does

define 

Mean and do on scratch?

It is the script that a custom block does, for example:

define If <condition> then jump (height)
if <condition :: custom-arg> then :: cstart
    switch costume to [Jumping Costume v]
change y by (height :: custom-arg)
switch costume to [In Air v]
wait ((height :: custom-arg) / (4)) secs
switch costume to [Falling v] :: looks
change y by ((height :: custom-arg) * (-1))
if <condition :: custom-arg> then :: cstart
    wait until <not <condition :: custom-arg>>
else :: cend
    stop [this script v]
end
stop [this script v]

Then, the custom block will do that:

if <> then jump () :: custom

You can use it

when green flag clicked
say [I can jump high! Just press space!] for (7) secs
if <key [space v] pressed?> then jump (7) :: custom
ask [Was that high?] and wait
stop [all v]

Hope that helps!

In order to join the Scratch Team, it's same as a job. You have to be 18 years old, commute to MIT Media Lab located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA (for some jobs), and be skilled at the part you want to work at (programming, moderating, etc).

There are some big requirements to being a member of the Scratch Team. You must be very good with technology/programming, at least 18 years old. You must be trusted and responsible for the material of Scratch and MIT to be a Scratch Team member.
