Is the Circuit Playground Classic or Circuit Playground Express still the recommended hardware for unit 6?

Where can this be purchased? on amazon and on the adafruit website it says out of stock (always!) or one left .

Does anyone know if this is the norm or just a glitch? I need to order about 100 for the fall.

Thanks for your input.

My understanding is that either one works for codedotorg but only the express works for makecode so you might want to get those so you have another coding option.

I used the Expresss and ordered them off of [www.mouser.com](http://www.mouser.com)
