This project was chosen to showcase the dynamic possibilities of Scratch coding, fostering creativity and interest in programming by demonstrating how to animate a visually captivating scene of a butterfly in flight.

One challenge was coordinating the butterfly's wing rotations with its movement smoothly, requiring careful synchronization of scripts and timing adjustments. Experimenting with different combinations of motion and rotation blocks, alongside trial and error, helped refine the animation for fluidity.

With more time, I'd expand the project by incorporating environmental elements like flowers or clouds, enhancing the overall visual experience. Additionally, I'd explore adding interactive elements such as mouse-controlled flight or customizable wing patterns to deepen user engagement and learning.
