How to Zip Your Project Files

When uploading your Scratch or Python projects, we need you to send them as a .zip file. This helps us receive all the files correctly — whether you’re sending one project or many.

You can zip one or more project folders, or select individual files, and combine them into a single .zip file to upload.

For Windows

1. Select your files or folders
   Hold Ctrl and click to select multiple items.

2. Right-click on one of the selected items and choose:
   Send to → Compressed (zipped) folder

3. A new .zip file will appear.
   Rename it if you like, then upload it to the form.

For Mac

1. Select your files or folders in Finder
   Hold Command and click to select multiple items.

2. Right-click (or control + click) on one of the selected items and choose:
   Compress X Items

3. A new file ending in .zip will appear.
   That’s the one to upload!

For Chromebook

1. Open the Files app and select the files or folders you want to send.
   Hold Ctrl and click to select more than one.

2. Right-click and choose:
   Zip selection

3. A zipped file will appear in the same location.
   Upload that file in the form.

Tips

• You can select multiple Scratch or Python projects at once.

• If you’re uploading Scratch files (.sb), Python files (.py), or screenshots, just zip them all together.
