The Iowa Regional Braille Challenge is quickly approaching! Testing for students will be held during a remote testing window of February 1, 2021 – February 28, 2021. Contest proctoring can be done individually or as a group in school, home, or another agreed-upon setting with a proctor. Online training is available for anyone who will be proctoring.
