Say you bring in a sealed box full of ice into a warm room. Knowing, thermodynamically, that higher temperature means higher energy of air particles that transfer heat by bumping into one another (don’t kill me for this oversimplification!), how does heat transfer across the hard box sides into the inner space and melt the ice?

Well the box still transmits energy. Energy tends to flow to any points with lower energy. Kinda like water flows to points with less water. It’s a very simple explanation. But yeah something like that.
