2. The Importance of Play2. The Importance of Play

In the first official episode of Everything Is Interesting as its own radio segment, Kira and Keera (we called her Kay back then!) talk about the importance of playing, both for children and adults. Video games, playing outside, puzzles, science experiments, and “adult” play, build memory and reasoning skills, dispel aggressive behavior, promote social inclusion, and contribute to many facets of healthy brain development.

Because they are so dedicated to the healthy brain development of the XRAY in the Morning DJs, Kira and Keera bring a hands-on science game, making the crew spin raw eggs in the studio to learn about inertia, density, and drunk ballerinas.

This is where it all began! Listen to an insanely nervous Kira and Keera talk to Christine Alexander and the XRAY in the morning DJs about their educational non-profit, Science Project. They also talk about how to make learning Science fun, & why its so important to the well being of our community.

Then listen in to the Everything Is Interesting prototype quiz show, where they ask the DJs:

If radio waves are not sound waves, how do our voices get into the listeners’ ears?
How does coffee affect the brain? Why does caffeine keep you awake?
