I know its the week AFTER the Iron Bowl, but this is a great lesson to introduce our next problem solving technique which is called SCAMPER (look below for the definition).
You can use SCAMPER to use information both old and new to help you really examine your surroundings and come to a better solution to the problem you face. You will put each level of SCAMPER to work to help you along in the process.
S=Substitute - what things could I substitute into the situation to solve the problem?
C=Combine - could I combine anything in the situation to help solve the problem?
A=Adjust/Adapt - is there anything I could adjust/adapt in the situation to help solve the problem?
M=Modify - how could I modify something in the situation to help solve the problem?
P=Put to other uses - How could I use something in the situation in a unique way to help solve the problem?
E=Eliminate - What might I eliminate from the situation to help solve the problem?
R=Reverse/Rearrange - In what was might I reverse or rearrange what happens in the situation to help solve the problem?
We will use these questions to assist the universities with their problems.
