                    Title Bar: It is at the top of the Scratch window. It shows Scratch 3.29.1 written on the
                    left. The right side of the toolbar has the three control buttons—Minimize, Maximize
                    and Close.

                     Menu Bar: It contains options and commands related to the projects that you create in
                    Scratch. The options are File, Edit, Tutorials and name of the Scratch project.

                    Stage Area: It is similar to a stage in a play where everything takes place. You can watch

                    stories, play games and run your scratch projects on the stage.

                     Stop Button: It is the red button which on clicking stops the running Scratch program.
