SCAMPER is an acronym that stands for Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to Another Use, Eliminate, and Rearrange (Eberle 1972). Each word in the acronym is related to a question stem designed to prompt creative thinking about a given topic (Flannagan and Sawyer 2015). Using these question stems requires students to systematically think…
