2020 PA Braille Challenge

The FIRST-EVER Pennsylvania Braille Challenge was held on February 8, 2020 at the Berks County Intermediate Unit in Reading, PA.

The Braille Challenge is a national program of the Braille Institute®. It’s a full day of fun, interactive braille challenges where students compete and win prizes according to their grade level.

All Contestants are divided into five categories and tested on fundamental braille skills such as reading comprehension, spelling, speed and accuracy, proofreading, and charts and graphs. Contests are proctored by volunteer Teachers of the Visually Impaired and scored locally by volunteer transcribers, based on national guidelines.

Of all the students competing around the US and Canada, the top 10 scorers from each level advance to the Finals in Los Angeles, for a total of 50 contestants. The 2020 Braille Challenge National Finals will happen on June 26 and 27 at the University of Southern California!
