Innovation

While the NYC Braille Challenge has long maintained a technology table to help introduce our students and families to the latest in braille and screen reader technology, this year we had our first student leader take responsibility for the technology table. Milo is passionate about technology and loves to share his knowledge.

Three students are gathered around a table checking out various braille displays and screen reader technology.

The Braille Experience

The NYC Braille Challenge is pleased to be the only regional Braille Challenge to offer the Braille Experience. The Braille Experience is a place for those learning and exploring tactile literacy mediums to meet and have fun together.
