A playground project is a project that's created by you or your students, and is not associated with a CS First lesson. Essentially it's a blank canvas where users can create a project from the ground up. These projects are helpful if you want to create an example to share with a student or want to practice skills outside of a lesson.
Creating a New Playground Project
To create a new playground project, follow the steps below:
- Sign in to your CS First dashboard.
- Click on Projects on the left-hand side (under the blue + button).
- Click on + New Project in the top right-hand corner.
- A new tab will open with the Scratch for CS First editor. The new/blank project will have no starter project and you or your students can code freely. The project is automatically saved as long as the user is signed in.
- Once you are in the Scratch for CS First editor, you can also click File > New to open a new/blank project.
