Airdrop Connection is a fun, fast-paced drop-in event where digital clues lead to real-world conversations. Every 10 minutes, random students will receive an airdropped image prompt like “Find someone wearing earrings and ask them the story behind it.” Your mission? Go find them, connect, and complete the challenge before the next clue drops.

It’s like a scavenger hunt, but for human connection.

🎯 Clues change every 10 minutes

📱 iPhone users will receive Airdrops directly

📲 Android users, download Snapdrop in advance if you want to receive clues

👀 You don’t need to get a clue to join the fun, welcome to hang out and chat

Come join us - this is your chance to step out of your comfort zone and make memorable connections in a way that’s anything but ordinary.
