How to share projects on Scratch?
Before your kid can share
Scratch accounts require a parent email for anyone under 13. MIT sends a verification link — once you click it, sharing is unlocked. Projects from new accounts go through a brief review before appearing in the public community, usually within a few hours.
How sharing works
Once shared, the project lives at a unique URL (scratch.mit.edu/projects/[id]). Anyone with the link can view and play it in their browser — no account, no download. They can also remix it (make their own copy to modify), which Scratch explicitly encourages as part of how kids learn from each other.
Your kid can see how many people viewed, "loved," or remixed their project from the project page. For many kids, that first view counter ticking up is a big motivator.
How to unshare
Go to the project page, click See inside, then click the Unshare button where the Share button used to be. The project goes back to private immediately.
