Educational program in Ohio teaches young children that 'X is for X-Ray'

The University of Cincinnati Blue Ash in Blue Ash, Ohio, has developed a special program for kindergarten students that helps them become more comfortable with science, technology, and even radiology.

WLWT in Cincinnati reported that the “X is for X-Ray” program hosts large groups of students and teachers, working to get the children excited about learning these new topics.

“Any time kids are excited about learning, it gets joy in our heart and that’s what it should be about … bringing them over here gives them that real-life learning experience,” teacher Tami Miller said, as reported by WLWT.
