  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).
