• What is Scratch?


  Scratch is a visual programming language designed to help beginners learn programming fundamentals.
• Who developed Scratch?

  Scratch was developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab.
• What is the primary purpose of Scratch?

  To allow users to create interactive stories, games, and animations.
• How does Scratch make programming accessible to beginners?

  By using blocks that snap together, eliminating the need for complex syntax.
• Where can you start your journey with Scratch?


  You can start by visiting the Scratch website (scratch.mit.edu) and creating a free account.
• What happens after you log in to Scratch?

  You can start a new project by clicking on the “Create” button.
• What does the blank canvas in Scratch allow you to do?

  It allows you to drag and drop different programming blocks to create your project.
• What are the key sections of the Scratch interface?

  • Stage: Area where sprites perform actions.
  • Sprites Pane: Displays all sprites used in the project.
  • Blocks Palette: Contains categories of blocks (Motion, Looks, Sound, Events, Control).
  • Scripting Area: Where scripts are built by dragging blocks.
• What is the purpose of the Stage in Scratch?

  The Stage is where your project comes to life and sprites perform actions.
• What can you do in the Sprites Pane?

  You can add new sprites or edit existing ones.
• What does the Blocks Palette contain?

  The Blocks Palette contains different categories of blocks such as Motion, Looks, Sound, Events, and Control.
• What is the Scripting Area used for?


  The Scripting Area is where you build your scripts by dragging blocks from the Blocks Palette.
• What are events in Scratch?

  Events are actions that trigger scripts, such as clicking a sprite or pressing the green flag.
• Why is understanding events crucial in Scratch?

  Because they define how and when your project will respond to user interaction.
• What does the Motion category in Scratch do?

  The Motion category contains blocks that control the movement of sprites.
• How can you make a sprite move in Scratch?

  By using blocks from the Motion category.
• What can you do with the Looks category in Scratch?


  You can change how your sprite appears, such as making it say something or changing its costume.
• What is the purpose of Control blocks in Scratch?

  Control blocks manage the flow of your program, allowing for loops and conditionals.
• How can you create a loop in Scratch?

  By using Control blocks to repeat actions.
• What does the Sound category in Scratch allow you to do?


  The Sound category provides blocks to play sounds, stop sounds, and adjust volume.
• What are the steps to create a simple game in Scratch?

  1. Visit the Scratch website and create an account.
  2. Click on the “Create” button to start a new project.
  3. Use the interface to drag and drop programming blocks.
  4. Implement events, motion, looks, control, and sound as needed.
  5. Test and refine your game.
