Using the SCAMPER thinking technique, we used the rain sensor we use in arduino projects for a very different purpose; "Measuring Weight with Rain Sensor"
All stages of the SCAMPER technique encouraged creativity in STEM activities we will do with our students.
At the end of our event, we examined the designs they created by combining the laws of physics and technology in a single process. We chose designs with the most efficient and ideal benefit / cost ratio.
I also let them apply other steps of the STEM approach and improve their designs.
In my next lessons, we made different designs using the SCAMPER thinking technique. Going beyond the known, thinking differently and being creative emerged as activities that encouraged creativity.
The future belongs to those who make a difference.
