2. Scratch projects should allow students to develop conceptual understanding of content rather than discrete skills outside of their context of use.
3. Scratch projects should be designed so that students can see the effects of their actions in the physical world.
4. Scratch projects should allow students to represent their understanding of content through multiple modalities.
