SCAMPER: Scaffolding Creativity
Summary
Asking students to “think creatively” won’t get you far. They won’t know how to start, they’ll get stuck with simple ideas, or they’ll just go completely wild. SCAMPER is a tool for scaffolding the process of creativity.
- We begin with practicing Substitute and Combine.
- Then students will try Apply, Max/Minimize, and Put To Other Uses.
- Finally, they use Eliminate and Rearrange.
