Will the CS Fundamentals Express Course be challenging enough for Middle School students, or should middle school be using Discoveries? Thank you! ---

CS Discoveries was written for a middle school audience. If there is an actively engaged teacher and students are meeting regularly, this would be my recommendation. The Express Course is comprised of lessons from CSF’s k5 courses but structured in a way to better support self-paced learning. It’s a good option for students who have less time, especially when they are learning without a teacher. ---
