SCAMPER - a Strategy for Thinking Outside the Dodecahedron



We watched these videos today to help us to think outside the square using a range of strategies.
S is substitute
C is combine
A is adapt
M is to maximise, minimise or modify
P is to put to another use
E is for eliminate
R is to reverse or re-arrange.

The students then worked in small groups to SCAMPER an object of their choice, with some innovate and amusing outcomes as a result.  
It was really pleasing to hear the interaction of ideas and the enthusiasm to add to them in order to create something very different.

The class will be doing this when they begin their Dragon's Den task.
