Another reminder to save the date for the 20th Annual Iowa Regional Braille Challenge on February 14, 2026! The Braille Challenge is a program of the Braille Institute of America, Inc. and is the only academic competition of its kind for students who are blind or visually impaired. Developed by the Braille Institute 25 years ago, the program inspires students to practice and strengthen their braille literacy skills, which are vital to academic and career success.
Again this year, there will be the Foundational Group which welcomes students at any grade level, including preschool and kindergarten, to participate. So, no matter your braille skills, please join us for this fun day of Braille!
The theme for 2026 is Love, Braille. This year following the competition there will be a Valentine’s Party that will include crafts, snacks and fun and we are also celebrating our 20th year as Regional Braille Challenge host site!
Registration packets will be coming in January! Check out our Braille Challenge page for more information.
