Hi everyone! We just wanted to give a quick update regarding our forums. Over the past few weeks, we have noticed suspicious accounts and forum posts being created on our website, likely by bots. We have since removed all forum posts and accounts we believe to be bots. However, we just wanted to give a quick reminder about the rules of our website. We do not allow any types of spam or bot accounts on our website. This includes obviously AI-generated posts as well as posts int

It is already the middle of August, and we have some updates for you! Firstly, in early July, we released ScratchBit, a module for Scratch that turns images into save codes. Check it out here: https://github.com/leotimechannelorg/ScratchBit We also released an updated version of our Wheel of Fortune Spinner for this month's SDS (Scratch Design Studio). Finally, we implemented some updates to our website to better comply with Scratch guidelines and improve the user experience.

We recently implemented a few website updates to better comply with Scratch guidelines and COPPA laws, as well as improve the user experience. This update includes changes to our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and Community Guidelines, a new sign-in feature for children under 13, and some general aesthetic updates. Below is a list of everything we updated: Changed aesthetic and layout of homepage Updated homepage with up-to-date and relevant information Changed fonts across th

It is now July, and we have some exciting news for this month! First and foremost, what is probably our most ambitious project to date, ScratchBit, is nearing completion. ScratchBit is a powerful tool/module that enables a user to convert an image or pen drawing into a save code, directly in a Scratch project. Save codes can be used in any Scratch project with the ScratchBit module (not just the project they were generated in). ScratchBit will offer an easy, interconnected wa

As our newest piece software, ScratchBit™, nears completion, you might have noticed its appearance in the "Software" section of our website. This is the beginning of quite a few changes we are making to further modernize the website! In case you're wondering, we've compiled a list of all the changes we've made and are planning to make since the major website revamp in 2024: Already completed: Fixed bugs with original 2024 release Added "Software" page to showcase our best sof

With progress comes with the need to change things, and I found that I had quite a few old redundant studios (that were probably confusing people who somehow found them). So I went in and deleted some studios that either weren't being used at all, weren't being used for their intended purpose, or just the intended purpose isn't relevant now or wasn't ever relevant. These studios include: a redundant Holidays studio (there were 2 of them, so I deleted one), Scratchbook (suppos

It is almost April (gosh!), and we have some pretty cool updates for you! Firstly, I got accepted into the Scratch Mentor Program (SMP), which means I will likely be participating in the design and operation of various studios.

Gosh, it's 2026 now! So let's kick off this new year with some resolutions! My New Year's resolution is to FINALLY design a board game on Scratch, and I've decided on Monopoly! We will be starting development in the next few months. Currently, we are also working on an update to our Calculator project (although it's more of a remake than an update, as the interface has been totally wiped). This update will make the project look like a scientific calculator, among other things

Looks like I need to follow more people!

It is almost December, and we have A LOT of exciting news to share with you! So let's cut to the chase. I was accepted for the Scratch Youth Advisory Board (YAB)! Since the beginning of November, I have helped pilot a couple of projects, namely the Scratch Feedback Committee (SFC) , a studio where non-YAB members can suggest ideas that will be forwarded to the Scratch Team. I made the example project for the studio. Additionally, I attended a meeting with a design firm that
