Whoopapalooza

The Smoky Hill Drone Racing team is thrilled to announce the inaugural scholastic drone racing championship: Whoopapalooza '26! This exciting one-day event is scheduled for Sping 2026, at Smoky Hill High School and is open to all middle and high school students within the Cherry Creek School District and beyond.

Following the success of last year’s TinyWhoop Open, where six Smoky Hill students participated in a professional drone championship that sold out within a day, we recognized the need for a dedicated scholastic event. Whoopapalooza '24 aims to provide a platform for both novice and experienced young pilots under the age of 18 to showcase their skills.

To ensure the success of this groundbreaking event, we are actively seeking funding and support. We are proud to have the backing of several sponsors, including the CSU Drone Center, 3Whoop3 - Denver Chapter, FoCo FPV - Fort Collins Chapter, and BetaFPV.

Your support will help make Whoopapalooza '24 a memorable and successful event for the next generation of drone racing enthusiasts!
