This document outlines the timeline and activities for Project 2. It includes weeks for introducing the project, developing packaging proposals and submissions, and finalizing marketing strategies and submissions in groups. It also provides information on the SCAMPER technique to help ideate future product ideas, including examples of applying it to computers and printers. Students will use SCAMPER to develop their own future product for IDJ 2, and in IDJ 3 will imagine launching the product, including details of an event such as location, invitation, audience, and more.

2. IDJ 2 : MY FUTURE PRODUCT
( USING SCAMPER
TECHNIQUE)

3. WHAT IS SCAMPER?
The SCAMPER technique will assist you in thinking of changes you can
make to an existing product to create a new one via a checklist.
The changes SCAMPER stands for are:
S – Substitute - components, materials, people
C - Combine - mix, combine with other assemblies or services, integrate
A - Adapt - alter, change function, use part of another element
M - Modify - increase or reduce in scale, change shape, modify attributes
(e.g. color)
P - Put to another use
E - Eliminate - remove elements, simplify, reduce to core functionality
R - Reverse - turn inside out or upside down.

4. EXAMPLE
For instance, imagine that you are a producer of computers and printers, and
you are looking for new products. SCAMPER would give you:
Substitute – use of high tech materials for specific markets – use high-speed
components?
Combine – integrate computer and printer, printer and scanner
Adapt – put high quality ink in printer, use high quality paper
Modify – produce different shape, size and design of printer and computer
Put to another use – printers as photocopies or fax machines
Eliminate – eliminate speakers, colour screens, colour ink etc…
Reverse – make computer desks as well as computers and printers, or
computer chairs
By using SCAMPER we are able to identify possible new products. Many of the
ideas may be unfeasible or may not suit the equipment used by the
manufacturer, but some ideas could be good starting points for discussion of
new products

5. IDJ 3 : LAUNCHING OF FUTURE PRODUCT

6. IMAGINE THE EVENT
(WHERE)

7. AN AWESOME
EVENT WILL NEED AN
AWESOME INVITATION
(HOW.WHO.WHEN)

8. YOUR AUDIENCE ?
