Diane Xiong Educates the Community | Coder Kids Podcast Episode 21

In this episode of the podcast, James and Jeff talk about Diane Xiong and her story. Due to file corruption, we lost the actual interview, and due to time constraints weren't able to have her back on before Christmas. That said Diane's work, and the Fort Bend Community Education Program and Family University Program that she's working on are truly superb.

See below for timestamps.

Here are links where you can check out what she does!
