The program is one year long and completely free to its participants, giving the girls not only a history and technology lesson, but one in representation.

“A lot of people don't know the history of black and indigenous people in the founding of Julian," said Baxter.They will take their findings and present them to the public at their very own museum set to open next July.

“It's been really, really rewarding and fulfilling because they get it, you know, it's one thing to come up with something, it's another thing to see it land,” said Baxter. Baxter founded the program this year with the hope of uncovering the lineages and history of black and indigenous people in San Diego County and how technology is a powerful tool in doing that.

“I think the fact that we're able to fly drones and being women, flying drones, I think that's something that's absolutely amazing,” said Baxter. Baxter said the girls will get paid to be a part of it as it is being treated as a workforce development program. New applicants will be accepted next August.
