58 96. University Carpool App The University Carpool App is a web app designed to accommodate the growing university population with an alternative transportation scheme to get to and from university. The web app functions similarly to a social media app. Students can sign up andmake an account, and connect with other students, to ultimately organise a carpool. The app recommends students in close proximity to one another to optimise travelling efficiency and realistic route expectations.

This simulator can be used to test how small prototypes are affected by ice-forming conditions and other research and development. The chamber was constructed using a variety of recycledmaterials including a disused ice cream freezer as its main chamber. The user has complete control of temperature (Min of -20_), wind speed (Max 70km/hr.) andmoisture content of cloud (up to 5grams/sec) within the chamber.

For each guess the player will receive hints based on similarities in attributes, bringing them closer to the correct fighter. The application was designed to be a fun, easy-to-play game that will not only target hardcore UFC fans, but also people who are trying to get into the sport and learn more about the fighters.
