How can we generate creative ideas? SCAMPER techniques are useful for developing or improving ideas. SCAMPER is an acronym for Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify/ Magnify/ Minify, Put to Other Uses, Eliminate and Reverse/Rearrange.

Substitute - Replace one thing with another/change the parts
Combine - Add/Put more things together
Adapt - Meet other needs
Modify - Change the look/quality
Magnify - Make a thing bigger, heavier, faster, more frequent
Minify - Make a thing smaller, lighter, slower, less frequent
Put to Other Uses - Use a thing in other ways
Eliminate - Take away a characteristic, part or whole
Reverse - Turn a thing around/change to the opposite
Rearrange - Change the order
