Denver Metro Regional Braille Challenge (9:00 am-2:00 pm):
Braille literacy skills are essential to academic and employment success! Blind or visually impaired students in grades 1-12 who can read and write Braille are invited to participate in the Braille Challenge. Skills in several areas will be tested and those with the top scores will be eligible to compete in the final round in Los Angeles on June 26 & 27!

For those new to Braille, we will have a rookie component to our programing that will include tactile literacy with renowned tactile artist Ann Cunningham as well as many other activities to get everyone excited about using Braille.
