The Braille Challenge is the only academic competition of its kind held in January through March, each year in North America, for students who are blind or visually impaired. Any blind or visually impaired student, in first through twelfth grades, who can read and write braille is eligible to participate in the Braille Challenge. In Colorado, CSDB hosts two contests. One in person at CSDB, February 17, 2022 and the Denver Metro Virtual Braille Challenge. January 17, 2022 is the registration deadline for the 2022 Denver Metro Virtual Braille Challenge Contest, which is open to all students, in all school districts, across Colorado.
