USING DRONES TO RECOVER LOST HISTORY
The DRONe Project (Descendants Recovering our Names) seeks to create a new generation of innovators in the field of digital historic preservation and drone technology with the skills to becme high-income earners via a paid workforce development program.
The DRONe Project
The DRONe Project, Descendants Recovering Our Names, launched in 2022 as a workforce development initiative tailored for BIPOC high school girls. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by girls, particularly those from underrepresented communities, we sought to provide real-world experience within a supportive environment conducive to building confidence and leadership skills.
​
To date, we have mapped two historically significant sites in San Diego, Ghana, the United Kingdom, and Portugal, studying significant historically significant sites.
​
The profound impact of our program has spurred the initiation of training for 18- to 24-year-olds to staff our expanding initiatives.
​
As our program flourishes, it becomes imperative to uphold our commitment to providing these invaluable opportunities at no cost to our participants. We remain steadfast in empowering BIPOC girls through innovative STEAM programming, fostering pathways to success, and reshaping historical narratives for generations to come.
