If you are younger than 18 please be patient. We will have Young Treehouse Builder registration available in a few months. In the meantime those under 18 can participate if their teachers register a classroom project.
If you are a teacher and would like to register a classroom project, first register yourself, then log-in and choose to register a classroom project.
