I don't think so.

....
Then again, I have no idea. It might be possible with embedding, but I'm not sure how that would work. I tried putting html in a powerpoint once but it just appeared as text.

Hey sjufd888, sadly, PowerPoint at this time is not capable of importing Scratch project files not is it capable of importing Java applets.

However, you can try setting Scratch as an executable file (see hereand have it launch from the slide. Alternatively, you can upload the project on the website and have the project launch from the slide as well.

If you're really intent on embedding, a workaround might be to upload the project to the Scratch website and use LiveWeb software (a PowerPoint add-in), which should theoretically show the web page of the project in real time (I haven't tried the software myself, but this is the only solution I am aware of with regards to importing a Java applet into a PowerPoint presentation):
- Download page: http://skp.mvps.org/liveweb.htm
- Step-By-Step instructions: http://www.ehow.com/how_4967102_put-applet-powerpoint.html
- NOTE: If you use the LiveWeb method, just note that it doesn't work in PowerPoint viewer nor on computers that do not have LiveWeb installed.

If the goal is to simply show a Scratch project in action, maybe you'll just want to use screencapture software and record the Scratch project as it is running to create a film and insert that film into PowerPoint. 

Hopefully this helps you out!
