The Stage is the area where your Scratch project is displayed and where all the action happens. It’s the visual output area where sprites (characters and objects) perform the actions dictated by your code.
The Stage can have multiple backdrops, which are like different backgrounds that can change during the project.
What does the stage represent in Scratch User Interface?
Sprites Pane
The Sprites Pane, located below the Stage, displays all the sprites in your project. You can add, duplicate, delete, or select a sprite to edit its properties.
Sprites are the characters or objects that perform actions on the Stage. Each sprite can have its own set of scripts (code), costumes (appearances), and sounds.

Blocks Palette
The Blocks Palette is where you find all the coding blocks used to program your sprites. These blocks are categorized by function and color, making it easy to locate the specific type of block you need.
Categories include Motion, Looks, Sound, Events, Control, Sensing, Operators, and Variables, each providing different types of commands.

The Script Area
The Script Area is the workspace where you assemble your code. You drag blocks from the Blocks Palette into the Script Area and snap them together to create scripts.
Each script is associated with a particular sprite or the Stage, and you can create multiple scripts for different behaviors.

Start / Stop Button
Green Flag and Red Stop Button:
The Green Flag is used to start your Scratch project. Clicking it runs all scripts that start with the "When Green Flag Clicked" block.
The Red Stop Button stops the project, halting all scripts immediately.
Tabs (Code, Costumes, Sounds)
Above the Blocks Palette and Script Area, you’ll find three tabs: Code, Costumes, and Sounds.
Code: The default tab where you create and edit scripts.
Costumes: This tab allows you to draw, import, or edit the appearance of your sprites.
Sounds: This tab lets you add, record, or edit sounds that can be played during your project.
Extensions
The Extensions menu allows you to add new sets of blocks for specific functionalities, such as music, video sensing, or connecting to external devices like micro
