[NFB-VT] Fwd: Mathlete Competition for Braille Readers in 6th-12th Grades

[Katie Lane-Karnas]

Sharing a virtual math competition program for braille readers. This team, “Project INSPIRE,” is fantastic and have offered many excellent opportunities through their federal grant over the last five years. Their work then informs their research and publications on the importance of tactile graphics and math & science access for blind/low vision students.
