Files are organized into Projects.

For example, you may have built a dog robot. You create a Dog project, and within
that project have many programs, images, and sound files specifically for that
robot. If you then built a Color Sorter, you would create a Color Sorter project, with
all the programs, images, and sound files relating to that robot.
