Well If you want to meet the ST you could go to the Scratch Day event in Cambridge…

Even though I have 6 or 7 years til' I can join, I think this rule is fair because:

The Scratch Team has to deal with some very mature things that you can't legally view until you are 18+ anyway.

What I would do is just create a programming language and grow a community of my own.

too bad I'm 11. But, I think it's just mean not to let smart/Gifted kids volunteer. Just because some kid like me is under 18 doesn't mean she/he knows real code. Just look at me! I created SSTW with C# and UnityScript with no bugs! WHY! Y!

And yes, the entire game is created with 70+ lines of code.

Lol
If that was allowed, there will be so much babies wandering around the lab crying and chewing on computer mouses.

Oh, It gets much worse…



TWOGONDOG ON A RAGE!

I need to redirect all random people saying “ME ON SCRATCH TEAM!” I think this will be very helpful so people actually understand this stuff about the ST

Oui, you'll have to know HTML, CSS, Ruby and JavaScript.

Just because i'm starting Furunity (Fur-Powered Community), doesn't mean that I'm creating a new PL. It's a site for GAME and ANIMATIONS, also filled with FDG stuff.

And yes, Furunity will not be like Scratch's community. There will be no “Team” that leads the entire website. That one webmaster is me.

Though, if trusted, you can be a moderator if I know you in real life, and that's yet only my BFF.

But, good luck with that, your going to need to learn 5-7 programming languages VERY well. I'm not into HTML 5 yet… But html is the most easiest PL to learn. No joke, it's %100 true. Just get a course and you'll see.

They will expect what they will expect from an adult: Full-time and hard worker, strong will, years of experience, maturity, long health, etc, etc.
And when you apply for any job, they don't only look at your knowledge. They will look at your mental, maturity, and others.

So it's not just the age nor the money. It's more like maturity.
I would advise you to spend more times learning, so that you could ACTUALLY be a Scratch Team later. It's not easy to be a Scratch Team, even for an adult.

<sacarsm>Good luck. </sacarsm>

I guess it's like any other job - I'm not sure if an 8-year-old can or should work, regardless of the job and its needs.

I thinks the 18+ rule is pretty fair. Because as you get older you dont only age you get smarter and wiser.

i am 10 and i will probably only care about school by 18…………we'll see what happens…………..

Well, in some countries, there are slightly different regulations.

No, an eight year old cannot work.
In Australia, I believe 15 year olds can participate in fully fledged work.
Younger children can do basic and “light” work where the work is outside of school hours. Light work includes delivering the newspaper. The manager needs a working with children's card to employ you though.
As to whether programming is light work, I don't know. I'd personally say yes, but the governemnt runs on logic (or so we think), not opinion.

I don't think it's fair

don't think is fair at all whey do you have to be 18 plus it's unfair I really want to help scratch!!! I tried to figure out how to join the scratch team the second I joined scratch now that I found out how I am very disappointed
