Finish your profile

Before you can use Carna with a school, you are asked to finish your profile. You cannot skip this screen, and there is a reason for each question.

What you are asked #

The account menu: Settings, theme, Install app and Sign out

Question	Required	What it is used for
Your name	Yes	This is the name your teacher and your classmates see. Not a nickname only you understand.
Date of birth	Yes	Carna uses it to choose the right level for you, so that a ten-year-old and an adult do not get the same lesson.
Gender	Yes	It picks your character in the lessons. Prefer not to say is one of the answers, and it gives you a character too — it is not a penalty and nothing is missing if you choose it.
Picture	No	Optional. You can add one later, or never.

Why you cannot skip it #

Carna asks because the answers change what you see. A lesson chosen for the wrong age is worse than a question on a form, and a name your teacher does not recognise means your work is hard to find on their class list.

If you try to go to another page before finishing, Carna brings you back here. Once it is done, this screen never appears again.

Changing an answer later #

Your name and your picture can be changed in your account settings at any time.

Learning on your own? #

You are not asked these questions. This form is about a classroom — a teacher who will see your name, a class level, a character a classmate sees — and none of that applies yet when you are learning alone. See Learning on your own.

If a school invites you later, you will be asked to finish your profile then, when there really is a teacher who will see the name.
