In this paper, we provide an overview of the Middle-years Computer Science (MyCS) curriculum and the motivations for its design. MyCS organizes several existing computer science education resources along with several novel resources and adaptations of exercises. The result is a coherent, semester-long course for students in late elementary, middle, or early high school. The curriculum alternates between conceptual looks at computing and programming activities in Scratch, all with a strong emphasis on presenting computer science as an exciting, creative, and accessible field for students.
