Why This Is a Big Deal

This qualifying drone tournament, open to middle and high school teams is a blended competition, welcoming both JROTC and non-JROTC teams. It’s speed. It’s precision. It’s strategy. And it’s the future of aviation, engineering, and leadership on full display.

Fuel up on site with concessions provided by the Air Force JROTC Booster Club, and cheer on teams as they push the limits of technology and teamwork.

Expect fast flights, intense focus, and jaw-dropping skill as students take control of cutting-edge tech and prove what the next generation is capable of.
