Next, the group built a beach-themed Scratch project together. With suggestions from other webinar participants, Karen demonstrated different features in Scratch including:
- Deleting a sprite
- Adding a surprise sprite
- Adding a sprite from the Scratch library
- Drawing a sprite in the paint editor
- Adding a background
- Say block
- Connecting blocks
- Making the project interactive
- Adding a sound
- Making something happen at the same time
- Deleting blocks
- Wait block
- Initializing a sprite
- Broadcast/When I receive function
