Scratch Event Studios, or SES, are studios created to celebrate a specific event. They are created and managed by the Scratch Team and are featured during a certain time period in the Featured Studios row. Usually, these studios are created to bring Scratchers together to inspire them to create projects.
List of Scratch Event Studios
Here are different types of Scratch Event Studios created by the Scratch Team:

International Day of Play
(description: June 11th is the first ever UN International Day of Play and you’re invited to join! It was created as a reminder to all of us about the power of play to spark joy, foster creativity, and develop new skills.
Play is a very important and fundamental right for every young person. It helps us have fun and express ourselves freely through different activities and sports. But play is not just for fun; it is essential. It helps us be creative, learn new things, and make friends. It makes us feel good and helps us grow up healthy and happy, both in our bodies and our minds.
While incredibly important, not every young person has the ability to play as much as others. This happens for a number of reasons including lack of time, lack of accessible options, lack of safe spaces, and even the perception that play is not important among parents, teachers, or other adults in a young person's life, among others.
Translation Studios
When a Scratch Event Studio is created, a Translation studio is usually also created. These studios contain all the translations made for their respective studios. There is no permanent translator for a language; all Scratchers is welcomed to translate the studio's description.
Examples of Translation Studios
Curators and Managers
While the Scratch Team members can only manage, SMP members directly invited to curate, also Scratchers who are found active in the studio are invited to curate. This doesn't apply to Translation Studios as Scratch Team are the only one to manage.
