This week, Elizabeth and Tiffany interviewed Victor Villegas, who henceforth will be known on this podcast as our very own modern Leonardo da Vinci! Tune in as we discuss how to get kids engaged in STEAM as well as the barriers that prospective teachers face in accessing the education field. 

Victor provides technology and media support services and training to OSU Extension faculty and staff across Oregon. However, most people know him online as DroneSinger, the “Weird Al” of drones, world’s #1 creator of parody songs about drones. Victor leverage this “fame” to do K-12 STEAM outreach and engagement, heavily leaning on the arts to reach under-served, under-represented youth and encourage them to pursue STEAM careers. He is fully bilingual (Spanish/English), fully bicultural, a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter/composer of STEAM songs, a puppeteer, storyteller and sometimes poet, and loves the intersection of the Arts and Technology.
