Rita Freudenberg commented on SQ-533:
-------------------------------------

To avoid the problem with upper limits, here are the suggestions from edu team meeting October, 22:

*ages 8 - older
*ages 12 - older
*ages 15-older
*18+

The first lower limit is the same like Scratch. We think that it is ok to have a lower limit, it will not prevent younger kids from trying, but upper limits can be a stopper for older kids.
It should be no problem to change this on the website, but how about the save-dialog within Etoys?

> People are having problems with the age appropriate recommendation. Most of the projects have lower limit but not upper one. Kids are very sensitive to the labels of projects, so when we say 12 to 14, an older kid will be reluctant to touch it. It is difficult to decide which age group to direct some of the projects, even when the grade that the math in it is taught is known.
