Minors under the age of 14 need parental consent to sign up for an Arduino account. This is called a junior account.

• Adults can create junior accounts from their profile page.
• Juniors can also request permission from their parents.

Sign up your junior from an adult account

1. Go to the Profile page. Sign in if prompted or, if you haven’t done so, create an Arduino account.

2. Under Junior Accounts, click on Set Up Junior Account.

   

3. Enter the following profile info:

   • Optional: Change the avatar.
   • Optional: Regenerate the randomly assigned username.
   • Required: Enter a password.
   • Required: Enter the junior’s date of birth.

   When done, click Next.

   

4. Agree to the terms of parental consent and click Create Account.

The junior account will be created and added to the Junior Accounts section.
