Marty the Robot is Ready for Scratch 3.0!
Marty has been updated and polished for his appearance as one of the Scratch extensions whilst our lesson plans have been updated to be Scratch 3 compatible. At the moment, you can't access our extension on the normal Scratch website but we have a special link available so that you can still get the advantages of Scratch 3 with Marty!
Follow these simple steps to launch the latest Scratch version and add in our Marty extension.
Select the Marty Extension
Head over to our Scratch 3.0 beta site and select the icon in the bottom left to add a new extension to the editor to add Marty in as a Scratch extension.
Connect to your Marty
You should now get a small prompt to ask you to connect to your Marty - make sure your Marty device is turned on and connected to the same network as your device!
Get Coding!
That's it! You now have access to all the blocks you need to program your own Marty device. Make sure to share with us what creations your build - we would love to see them!
