The CreatiCode platform serves two groups of users:
-
Young users (elementary school students) — similar to those on MIT Scratch, who enjoy fun, creative, and age-friendly projects designed to inspire imagination and introduce coding fundamentals.
-
Older users (middle and high school students) — who are more mature and can handle projects with complex storytelling, deeper emotional or philosophical themes, and mild suspense or darker tones, such as “Plants vs. Zombies”, “Tank war”, etc. These projects encourage critical thinking, creativity, and exploration of real-world ideas in a safe and respectful way.
To ensure that older users can freely share their creative work while keeping younger users protected, we’ve introduced a new feature in the Playground. When sharing or publishing a project, you can now mark it as “Meant for users 13 or older.”
If this box is checked, anyone who opens the project will first see a notice asking them to confirm that they understand the project is intended for older users:
When sharing a new project, please consider checking this box if your project might not be suitable for young users. If you see a project that should be marked as 13+ but it is not, please remind the author to do so in the comments, or report the project directly.
Please note that all shared projects must still be appropriate for school use, including those marked as 13+. Our administrators reserve the right to reclassify projects as 13+ or remove them if necessary. Users who share or publish inappropriate content risk permanent deletion of their accounts and projects without prior notice.
