Braille Institute presents the Braille Challenge™

The Braille Challenge™ is a two-stage academic competition designed to motivate school-age braille readers to excel in this vital medium. We ask teachers of the visually impaired from across the nation to encourage their students to participate.

The chance to compete in the Braille Challenge™ can be a great motivator for all braille-reading students. Our aim is to build their enthusiasm by providing a family event that celebrates excellence in braille literacy skills.

Everyone can compete in the preliminary round. Then, the top 50 students are invited to Southern California, where they match braille skills against their peers at the annual June Challenge.

The Braille Challenge™ is a part of Braille Institute's literacy initiative dedicated to making a variety of children's literature available in braille and providing services that compliment academic goals. Our literacy initiative also supports accessibility to assistive technology through subsidy and loan programs for students, and helps provide innovative products and programs that support braille as a primary medium for people who are blind and visually impaired.
