INTRODUCTION-
-THINKING TOOLS- Are the tools or the ways that helps us to think differently, convey, exchange and reconstruct ideas.
-ATTRRIBUTES- refers to characteristics or properties specific to an object.
MAIN ACTIVITY-
1.SLICE AND DICE
-Breaking down a task or a problem into smaller tasks/problems.
-To stimulate new ideas, we can identify and list various attributes of a task-problem\challenge and work on one attribute at a time.
-The more you slice & dice your task/problem/challenge, the more attributes you will be able to improve or change
OBJECT TAKEN- PLASTIC LADDLE
MIRO BOARD LINK-
2. SCAMPER-
-Scamper helps us to ask questions and teaches us, how to manipulate what exists into something different.
OBJECT TAKEN-FOLK
HOME TASK TOOLS-
3. CIRCLE OF OPPURTUNITIES-
-It helps us to make forced connections and generate ideas by forcing a connective link between common attributes and our challenge.
OBJECT TAKEN- PEN
CHALLENGE- To make a unique advertisement poster/brochure to sell my pen
Rolled up the dice and got the following results-
1st Attribute- 8 black and white
2nd Attribute- 5 Round
Applying these two attributes separately-
1-black and white
made an advertisement poster in a black and white checks background for a pen.
2.Circle
made the advertising poster on a circular layout
COMBINING THE TWO ATTRIBUTES- BLACK & WHITE AND CIRCLE
Combined both attributes black & white and circle into my advertising poster
LINK BETWEEN MY CHALLENGE AND THE ASSOCIATION-
-For the first attribute (black and white), I added a checked background and wrote with a bold black marker, the checked background added a cool look to the poster and it looked very unique and attractive.
-The circular layout somehow shifted the focus on the pen sketch and it looked more unique as mostly all the advertising pamphlets are rectangular in shape and circular layout made it looked unique and visually more appealing.
4.CROSS-BREEDING-
-Mixing two things together to create a unique outcome.
My crossbreeds- pen X fish , pen x fork
5.IDEA BOX-
-Involves morphological analysis and helps to identify and box the parameters of a challenge to quickly produce thousands of new ideas.
-t is a way of automatically combining the parameters of a challenge into new ideas .
REFLECTION-
The five techniques of scamper helped me learn how to get new ideas by manipulating what exists into something different.
Figured out how to link or connect two or more objects by making forced connections between their attributes. eg circle of opportunity.
Tool box helped me to think further about how different parameters can be combined together to make an unique idea.
Slice and dice helped me in Breaking down a task or a problem into smaller tasks/problems and thus made it easier for me to attempt the task.
All these thinking tools helped me to think out of the box and create something that doesn't exist, they also enhanced my problem solving skills.
LEARNING MANTRA-
"Thinking is a really powerful tool. It helps us create innovative ideas, each individual thinks differently, and that is what makes us all unique and different."
