ScratchJr Interface

With ScratchJr, young children (ages 5-7) can program their own interactive stories and games. They learn to solve problems, design projects, and express themselves creatively on the computer.

Let’s know the ScratchJr interface. In the image below, we can see numbers to identify the parts, and then we can find an explanation of the functionality of each button or area inside the ScratchJR app.

Enjoy it.

   Save the current project and exit to the Home page.

    Snap blocks together to make a programming script, telling the character what to do. Tap anywhere on a script to make it run. To delete a block or script, drag it outside the

    (Orange), End Blocks (Red).
17. Characters
    Select among the characters in your project — or tap the plus sign to add a new one. Once a character is selected, you can edit its script, tap its name to rename it, or tap the paintbrush to edit its image. To delete a character, press and hold it. To copy a character to another page, drag it to the page thumbnail.
