Scratch

First, open up a project in Scratch. Then, you can click on the "File" menu, and select "Import Project". You can repeat this as many times as necessary, although the scripts may require adjustment using broadcasts (so that the different pieces of the project don't start at the same time). Hope this helps

So if each student has sprites that are only to be used with their background, will I need to hide the sprites for the other parts?

You could make a quick project to introduce all the others and tell the audience that this will be a compilation.

At the very end of that intro, add "broadcast (project1)".
       (Whatever sprites and backgrounds you created for the Intro would receive that broadcast and hide.)  If you wish, you could create a "MESA 2010" background that would be called between each project you're going to add. That would give a transition between projects...maybe a 1 or 2-second delay. Or, a background with the name of the student who created the next project that will appear.

Now import the first project. Have it start NOT with "When Green Flag clicked" but when it receives that broadcast. Yes, you will have to hide all of its sprites and its background(s) until they're called within the project. And when it ends, its sprites and background(s) will have to be hidden again for the next project.

Then, right at the very end of Project1 add the command "broadcast (project2)".
        (And Project1's elements would receive that broadcast and hide.)

Import the second project, have it start with the broadcast, hide its sprites and backgrounds until called....

Prediction: if you have half a dozen projects or more you'll soon find that adding each new project goes quickly.
