THE ICE MELTER APP

The Ice Melter App is an app is a new take on the conventional ice breaker appraoch, it's designed to help bootcampers connect better and more comfortably with their new pairs. It takes the bootcamper through a series of fun questions which later can be discussed and perhaps debated with their pair at the end. All you need is your pairs ID then debate away.

The Problem?

Meeting new partners for the week can be nerve racking, sometimes you don't know what to say, sometimes their are awkward moments and sometimes you are tired of reintroducing yourself to someone new each week. Is there a better way of breaking the ice with a new partner?

The Solution?

Introduce a new way of geeting to know you new weekly pair, create an app that facilitates bonding through a fun activity and discussing your answers, learn more about your partner.

Screenshots of the app,

This is the Home page, you start by typing in a username of your choice, which will be your ID throughout the app

You will then arrive at a selection Menu, select the 'Ice Melting Hour', the other options are in the works.

You will then be taken through a series of questions, select your choice then click on the Next button located
on the bottom right.

Then once you've arrived at the last question, click submit which will take you to a results page where your
answers to each of the questions will be displayed.>

You will then be able to input your partners ID number and compare their results againsts yours. And if
you are feeling particularly noisy you can input a different number from previous players and check their choices.
