Age was new to Sugar 102 and age/grade/gender was added in Sugar 104.

There are a few places where age is taken into consideration: for
example the Speak activity robot will assume the age of the user.
Also, the teacher share activity behaves differently for adults than
kids. As far as I know, the gender attribute is not used by any
activities. Again, please note that these are not required fields and
can be left blank or blanked out at any time.

Sorry for the shorthand: Control Panel (under My Settings in the hover
menu of the XO icon). Choose About Me.
