The "Getting Started" tutorial in the Scratch Project Editor is the official entry point for anyone new to coding. Developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at MIT, Scratch uses a "block-based" visual language that eliminates the need for typing code, making it highly accessible for beginners. Phase 1: Accessing the Editor
- Where the blocks are
- How to add a sprite
- What the stage does
Step 6: Saving and Sharing
- Look at the top left of the screen. In the text field that usually says "Untitled", type a name for your project (e.g., "My First Animation").
- Click File -> Save now.
- To share with friends, click the orange Share button at the top right.
Online Editor: Visit scratch.mit.edu and click "Create" in the top menu to open a blank project. While you can code without an account, creating one allows you to save and share your work. scratchmitedu-projects-editor-tutorial-getstarted
