Do you know a good project that doesn't have a lot of attention? Suggest a project to be put in this studio that is unpopular.

As a long time Scratcher, I have found new meaning to the name “Scratch”: for me, it means to “scratch that itch”, to come back again and again to realize new ideas in this toy language, even when I'm capable of creating my projects in real programming languages years later. It's a friend that helped me to pursue programming and get me to enjoy its fruit. I'm certain many others who have walked this path as well have grown fond of its importance in their life.

Done and thank you.

Nope, ST is the same thing which makes it a paying job and making the age limit 18.

I noticed that all of the Welcoming Committee curators became Scratch Mentors after they became curators - being a Mentor could have some connection with the Welcoming Committee

hey bro that's a pretty good meme xD!

Good topic! I've added it to the list of helpful topics.

Scratch Team Member, kayak and pickleball enthusiast, cat caregiver.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

Actually the age limit was dropped to 13, and then the status was removed.
