Group of students who participated in the Abacus Bee

WSSB’s Outreach Access Services (OAS) Team in partnership with Department of Services for the Blind (DSB) hosted this year’s Regional Abacus Bee^® (sponsored by APH) on November 9, 2024 in Seattle!

The Annual Washington Regional competition hosted ten students from across the state. Along with the math competitions, there were exciting activities for the contestants, siblings and their parents -including a morning Orientation and Mobility Experience on Seattle’s Sound Transit and an afternoon activity for the whole family with The Blind Kitchen! It was truly a STEM-ulating day for all!

Stay tuned as we await news for who will advance to Louisville, KY in March for the National Competition.
