MedtechSnipes is a gamified, IRL social app designed exclusively for members of Medtech@UCI. Our goal is to bridge the gap between formal club meetings by encouraging spontaneous interactions and community building across the UCI campus.


🎯 How It Works

The game is simple: See a member, snap a photo, earn points.

  1. Identify Yourself: Log in and select your profile so the club knows who is on the hunt.
  2. The Snipe: When you spot another Medtech member randomly on campus, approach them and take a photo together.
  3. Log the Catch: Mark who you "sniped" in the app and upload the photo.
  4. Win Prizes: Every snipe earns you points (10 for the sniper, 5 for the sniped). At the end of the quarter, top snipers are eligible for some prize!

Note: Beyond the competition, these photos help us curate "Quarter in Review" reels, promotional materials, and memories that celebrate our club culture!


✨ Features

  • Member Directory: Easily find and select fellow club members to mark your snipes.
  • Photo Uploads: Direct integration to upload your "proof" to our secure database.
  • Leaderboard: Track your ranking against other members in real-time.
  • Campus Connectivity: Encourages networking and friendships outside of standard lab/meeting hours.
