Audience the uploader declared This channel is not marked as made for children. That marking is about advertising and data collection, so its absence says nothing about who the videos are for.
Its 100 most recent uploads
Counted from the uploads we fetched when we looked. Where YouTube does not report a figure for a video, that video is left out of the count rather than assumed — so some totals below are smaller than 100.

About the channel
What kind of channel this is. These describe it rather than warn about it, so they carry no severity colour.
- Educational value High The channel provides direct instruction on coding, digital art, and storytelling using the Scratch platform.
- Consistency High The content consistently aligns with the channel's mission to provide resources and stories about the Scratch coding community.
- Synthetic media None found The videos appear to be a mix of filmed human presenters and screen-recorded software tutorials; no evidence of AI-generated imagery or synthetic narration.
Does well Strong emphasis on creative learning and inclusivity Provides free, high-quality educational tutorials for coding Highlights a global community of young creators
This is a preliminary review. Some of what we wanted to examine was out of reach when this analysis ran, so it rests on less evidence than a full review. What is published below is accurate as far as it goes; the limitations section says what it could not cover.
Age guidance
younger
The content is explicitly designed for 'kids' and 'young people,' focusing on educational coding and creative expression in a safe, supportive environment. The tutorials are beginner-friendly and the imagery is child-appropriate.
Age guidance is our reading of the sample, not a rating and not a certification.
What we found
11 of 11 risk areas were assessed, worst first. A finding is an observation with evidence behind it, not an accusation.
-
Commercial pressure
LowSelling, undisclosed promotion, gambling mechanics, and scams.
The channel mentions it is philanthropically supported and includes links for donations to the non-profit Scratch Foundation, but does not use aggressive sales tactics.
-
External contact
LowPushes viewers to chat, message, or meet somewhere off-platform.
Links are provided to the official Scratch website and community forums for learning and project sharing.
-
Stimulation
LowPace, loudness, and sensory intensity. High is not unsafe, but it is worth knowing before bedtime viewing.
The videos are educational tutorials and updates with standard pacing; no evidence of hyper-stimulating content.
Nothing found in: language · violence · horror · mature themes · bullying · adult activities · medical body horror · impersonation

What this review could not see
- We could not access what is said in 10 of 10 videos we looked at; findings for those rest on titles, descriptions, and thumbnail images.
The model reads text and still images. It does not watch video or listen to audio. Full methodology.
What we looked at
Automated screening checked all 100 of this channel's videos for harmful content and for videos presenting themselves as something they are not, and flagged none. The age band and risk areas above are a separate reading of 10 of those videos. We do not have what is said in any of those, so every finding rests on how a video presents itself rather than on what it contains.
Flag reasons are AI observations, published as produced — read them alongside the video, not instead of it. How screening and sampling work
