About
The pandemic and the shift to remote work have made it more difficult for college students to meet new people and make deeper connections with those with common interests. Based on student interviews, we found that the majority of the participants did not stay in touch with their peers after the class quarter ended, and the main reasons behind this were due to the lack of initiative where it was hard to “break the ice” outside of classwork. We designed a simple application that would prompt those working in teams to find common interests and spark conversations to deepen relationships.
Key Features
JOINING AND CREATING
You are able to join groups using a room code generated when first creating a group! The room code will consist of a random set of five letters.
PROMPTING
Your team will be prompted with daily questions as ice-breakers with each question intended to be more probing over time!
RESPONDING
Your team is encouraged to submit responses to the prompts and see the reponses of other team members. The idea behind having no 'reply' on the submissions is to incentivize conversations outside of the platform.
