Channel analysis summary
The Scratch Team channel provides official tutorials, workshops, and community updates for the Scratch programming language. The content focuses on teaching creative coding, game design, and digital art, ranging from basic concepts to advanced topics like AI face sensing and cloning.
What this channel covers
Covers Coding — mostly by saying how and why things work, or giving practice, rather than only saying what they are.
In the sample we reviewed closely, some topics were explained or practised, not only named. We have not heard the videos to confirm how far that goes.

What YouTube reports
YouTube's own figures for this channel, as collected when we looked. Nothing here is a finding of ours.
- Channel created

- Total views
- English
- Audio language the uploader declared
- Not marked as made for children
- Audience the uploader declared
A made-for-children marking is the uploader's own answer to a question about advertising and data collection — not a judgement by anyone that the content suits a child, and nobody checks it against the videos.
What the recent uploads show
Counted from the 100 most recent 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.
- Most recent upload
- 0
- Published in the last 90 days
- 32/100
- Run 180 seconds or less

About the channel
What kind of channel this is. These describe it rather than warn about it, so they carry no severity colour.
- Consistency High The channel consistently delivers educational content and community updates aligned with its mission.
- Synthetic media None found Content appears to be a mix of screen recordings, human presenters, and original graphics.
Does well Strong focus on accessibility and inclusive design Provides free supplementary learning resources and coding cards Encourages community collaboration and creative storytelling
Age guidance
younger
The content is specifically designed for 'young coders' and learners, focusing on educational tools, creative expression, and safe AI exploration in a child-friendly environment.
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.
-
External contact
LowPushes viewers to chat, message, or meet somewhere off-platform.
Links are provided to the official Scratch website and educational partners for learning materials.

Stimulation
LowPace, loudness, and sensory intensity. High is not unsafe, but it is worth knowing before bedtime viewing.
Visuals are colorful and engaging but designed for educational focus.

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
