MUSKOGEE, Okla. –– Thirty-three Oklahoma students competed at Oklahoma School for the Blind for medals and prizes in the regional Braille Challenge® competition sponsored by Braille Institute of America in the United States and Canada.
The basic braille unit is an arrangement of six raised dots, two across and three down, that resembles the number six domino. Each dot or combination of dots represents letters of the print alphabet. Braille dots are designed to be read with the fingertips, but can be written by hand, on computers or portable electronic note takers.
