Mini-lesson on the SCAMPER strategy (Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to another use, Eliminate, Reverse) using an example related to sustainable gardens or digital food web maps. Teams then apply SCAMPER to 3 of their brainstormed ideas to push beyond obvious solutions, deliberately creating unexpected variations (e.g., combining documentary film with interactive mapping for Duarte Nursery visitors).
