                    version written on the left. The right side of the toolbar has the three control
                    buttons— Minimize, Maximize and Close.
                     Menu Bar: It contains menus and commands related to the projects that you

                    create in Scratch. The menu items 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
