Hello Scratchers!

Have you created a cool gadget or invention that’s powered by Scratch? Whether it’s a robot, a smart home device, or something entirely unique, this is the place to show it off! We want to see how you’re using Scratch to interact with the physical world.

What to Share:

Project Showcase: Share pictures, videos, or descriptions of your Scratch-powered gadgets. Explain how they work, what hardware you used, and how Scratch plays a role in controlling them.

Build Guides: If you’re willing to share how you built your invention, provide a step-by-step guide so others can recreate it. Include any code, wiring diagrams, or tips to help others get started.

Challenges: Set a challenge for the community! For example, you could challenge others to create a robot that follows a line, a device that responds to sound, or anything else you can think of. Let’s see what the community can come up with!

Collaborations: Looking to team up with other Scratchers on a physical computing project? Post your ideas here and find collaborators who are just as excited as you are about building something awesome.

Feedback Requests: If you’re working on a project and need some advice or feedback, this is a great place to ask. Whether you’re stuck on a technical issue or just want to know what others think, the community is here to help.

Example Posts:

“Here’s my Scratch-powered weather station! It measures temperature, humidity, and light levels, and displays the data on Scratch. ”
“I made a robot that dances to music using Scratch and a Makey Makey! Here’s how I did it: . I’d love to see how others improve on this idea!”
“Challenge: Create a Scratch project that uses a sensor to water a plant automatically. Who’s up for the challenge?”
“I’m working on a smart home system that uses Scratch to control lights and sensors. Does anyone have experience with this? I could use some help with the code.”
Inspiration for Your Next Build:

Scratch-Controlled Robots: Use motors, sensors, and Scratch to build a robot that can move, dance, or even interact with its environment.
Smart Devices: Create a device that automates a task, like a smart light that turns on when it gets dark.
Interactive Art: Combine Scratch with physical inputs to create art installations that react to touch, sound, or movement.
Games and Toys: Build a physical game or toy that is controlled by Scratch, like a board game with Scratch-powered electronic elements.
Let’s get creative and see what amazing things we can build with Scratch! I can’t wait to see your inventions and hear about the cool ways you’re using Scratch to connect to the physical world.

Happy Inventing!

hello!! we don't need anymore guides on the forums, sorry. there's a lot of them and there's no good way to sort them all ….

"Hello! It's great that you want to help out other Scratchers. However, I think we have enough guides in the forums at the moment. Please feel free to welcome new Scratchers on the group welcoming topic or on individual topics created by New Scratchers.

Other places that can always use more helpful Scratchers like you, are the “”Help With Scripts“” and “”Questions About Scratch“” areas - please use them as designed, by responding to topics created by folks with problems to solve

Finally, a really good place for Scratch guides is the Scratch Wiki - check it out and see if it's something you might like to work on. They have a number of guides - and great organization."
