The list of regional Braille Challenge contestants that have qualified for competition at the national level has been released. Two students, Kayla Bartholomew and Lauren Thomson, participated in Iowa’s regional Braille Challenge and will be traveling to Los Angeles this June to participate nationally at The 2016 Braille Challenge.
Roxanne Book, Iowa Braille Challenge Regional Coordinator, notes, “The Iowa Braille Challenge raises awareness about Braille and celebrates Braille readers, while encouraging them to sharpen their Braille skills.” We applaud all who participated and wish best of luck to two Iowans who are going to sunny southern California!
