CHAPTER 2 1. SCAMPER Choose a relatively new and interesting home grown product or service in common use within your community one which you feel creatively solves a problem. It could be a phone application, electronic device or personal hygiene product. Hold an interview with the creator of your chosen product or service ascertain how specifically they came up with the idea. Delve into the history of the idea creation process and unearth the conditions and results of any trial and error that led to the final shape or form of the chosen produce/service. Depict y our findings visually as a storyboard. Draw out major lessons.

2. SCAMPER Put together a team of colleagues whose thinking and world views do not necessarily resonate with yours, but you could still work together effectively. Take anything familiar with a known outcome, for instance, socks sold in pairs to ensure uniformity, fizzy drinks tasting sweet to ensure pleasure through taste or using a toothbrush and paste for brushing your teeth to ensure dental hygiene and re imagine it. Thi nk first about why do we always do it this way?. As a result of asking this question, your team will develop assumptions and explanations which might come across as quite convincing and practical. The creative mindset will require challenging each of the se assumptions by turning them upside down. Use the SCAMPER technique for doing this and completely reimagine the process of delivering your chosen outcome. Share what you have come up with the class and generate feedback.

CHAPTER 3 1. Innovation Plan a field trip as a group with your other classmates to an irregular settlement or a locality where marginalized/poor communities make their home.
