2025-2026 SCRATCH REMINDER -- this school year we do NOT have CS First to use as our Scratch Editor. You will need to use a blank scratch editor in Experience CS (by Raspberry Pi) or scratch.mit.edu. As of now, Students and Teachers SHOULD NOT sign in to either of these applications to use a Scratch Editor.
