<p>No. Bluetooth on the computer you are using is necessary but you don't need a wifi dongle for either your computer or the ev3.

Welcome. Where are you getting Scratch for EV3 from? I'm not aware of Scratch running natively on the EV3.

No. Bluetooth on the computer you are using is necessary but you don't need a wifi dongle for either your computer or the ev3. If you are using the EV3+Scratch extension on [scratchx.org](http://scratchx.org/#extensions), all you need is the scratch x [plugin](https://scratch.mit.edu/info/ext_download/) and a computer with Bluetooth (or a bluetooth dongle).

[Here](http://kaspesla.github.io/ev3_scratch/) is a good article about how to set everything up.
