Sadly, you can't. First of all, the ST is run by adults. So unless you are an adult, you already have a reason. Secondly, how long have you been on Scratch? You must have been on for at least five years or so (and active) to become ST. Plus, you need to live near MIT (the place where Scratch is headquartered). Sorry if I sounded a little rough.

Also, when did this topic become unstickied?

You have a better chance if you GO to MIT. If you live like in Ohio, it would take many hours just to go to college, or you would just live there. So some people don't have great access to ST because they don't have great access to MIT because Massachusetts (thx spell check) is not close to many states. So Maine-eys are unlucky if they like scratch a lot. I don't think you HAVE to go to MIT. I think you are right that you have to live NEAR MIT, because I'm pretty sure Paddle2See* didn't go to MIT. I am intending to sign (is that even the right word…?) for MIT as college. So I basically have a 0.1% chance of being on the ST because MIT is so flipping hard to get into. So that's possibly why there are so few ST members. That's basically how it works.
And it was unstickied a month ago. Or a few months.

As far as I know, you can't.

Sure you can. Chedargirl, a member of the Scratch Team was a regular scratcher, then a Moderator, and then a Scratch Team member.

Yes, but how many Scratchers have become ST? ONE. IN THE HISTORY OF SCRATCH. It's practically impossible.

Rare, but not impossible.
