This month, we’re building creative Scratch skills that help projects stand out. From importing sprites and backdrops and editing costumes, it’s all about giving creators the confidence to make something their own.

With World Bee Day on Wednesday 20 May, it’s the perfect moment to put these Scratch skills into action, using nature as inspiration to create, remix, and reimagine.
 

Project of the month: Butterfly garden 

Celebrate World Bee Day with Scratch! This beginner-friendly animation project is perfect for remixing and transforming into a buzzing bee paradise.

Set your creators a challenge to reimagine this project. 
 
Get started
 

Featured workshop: Scratch remix — make it your own!
