The document provides instructions for an assignment on creative thinking skills. Students are asked to take an initial idea from prior mind mapping or workshop exercises and apply the SCAMPER technique to generate new ideas by substituting, combining, adapting, modifying, putting to other uses, eliminating, and rearranging elements of the initial idea. Students must then select the best new idea, create a prototype embodying that idea, and document the process in an idea journal. The goal is to practice innovative thinking techniques to develop original ideas.
