Hi there, thanks for adding me but I believe I used a different email from my ChatGPT account email to sign up for a teacher’s account. It works now anyways but I noticed the click green flag block is a different color.

Scratch’s:
It’s not a major issue at all just an fyi. Thanks for this, it’s going to save me so much time as I came up with a good workflow that is like:
Yes, that’s a great approach. You can use the visual diagram of the Scratch program I provided (the cat moving in a square and meowing at each corner) to recreate the program in your Scratch GUI. Once you’ve recreated it, you can then export the project as a JSON file. Here’s how you can do it:
-
Recreate the Program in Scratch GUI:
- Open your local Scratch GUI.
- Manually recreate the program by dragging and dropping the blocks as they appear in the visual diagram.
-
Export the Program as JSON:
- Once you’ve recreated the program, you can save it.
- In the Scratch GUI, there should be an option to save or download the project. This option typically allows you to save the project as a
.sb3
file, which is essentially a ZIP archive containing the JSON representation of your project and any assets it uses.
-
Extract JSON from
.sb3
File:- Rename the downloaded
.sb3
file to a.zip
file. - Extract this ZIP file. Inside, you’ll find a file named
project.json
. This file is the JSON representation of your Scratch project.
- Rename the downloaded
-
Load the JSON When Needed:
- You can now use this
project.json
file to load the program whenever needed. - If you want to share this with your students, they can import this JSON file into their Scratch GUI to view and interact with the program.
- You can now use this
This method allows you to prepare Scratch programs in advance and easily distribute them to your students for instructional purposes.
