Onshape itself does not include built-in aerodynamic simulation tools like Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). However, you can test a 3D model for aerodynamics designed in Onshape by exporting it to SimScale. Together with Onshape these applications align with the SAMR Redefinition level, enabling students to iterate and optimise designs based on real aerodynamic performance. This is far beyond what traditional drafting allows.

This video series from the F1 in Schools STEM program has shaped the approach to my CO₂ Dragster unit. I believe it is highly effective, as it breaks the content into manageable segments, engaging students in Onshape modelling training in a redefined approach to traditional design and drawing tasks. Through the use of simulation with SimScale, it also enhances their understanding of performance criteria, allowing them to refine their designs. Students will engage with this tailored video series via the QLearn learning platform.

The SCAMPER method helps you generate ideas for new products and services by encouraging you to ask seven different types of questions, which will help you understand how you can innovate and improve existing products, services, problems and ideas. Here, you'll learn how to use the method. SCAMPER is surprisingly easy to start using and very efficient in innovation and ideations sessions.
SCAMPER Method

SCAMPER refers to a series of thought sparkers or provocations which help you to innovate on an existing product, service or situation by looking through different lenses. There are seven provocation lenses in the SCAMPER method:

How to Use SCAMPER

First, take an existing product or service. It could be an existing product, service or idea which you want to improve or which could be a great starting point for future development.

Then, simply go down the list and ask questions regarding each of the seven elements. Please see our step-by-step guide below.

Apply the questions to values, benefits, services, touch points, product attributes, pricing, markets and essentially any other related aspect you might be able to think of that has relevance to your ideation needs.

Look at the answers that you came up with. Do any of the answers stand out as viable solutions? Could you use any of them to create a new product, or develop an existing one?

Take the good ideas and explore them further.

Example - McDonald's
Author/Copyright holder: rob_rob2001 . Copyright terms and licence: CC BY-SA 2.0 McDonald's would come to be a larger-than-life household name; it may seem hard to see in the 21st century, but the philosophy behind its 'formula' revolutionised the old style of restaurant experience.
Take, for example, McDonald's founder, Ray Kroc. As he's already done all the hard work, it's now easy for us to identify some of the ideas he used in the SCAMPER method:

Put to other uses: Selling restaurants and real estate instead of just simply hamburgers.

Eliminate: Letting customers serve themselves and thereby avoiding the use of expensive waiters.

Rearrange: Having customers pay before they eat.

Step-by-step Guide

Substitute
Author/Copyright holder: Teo Yu Siang and Interaction Design Foundation. Copyright terms and licence: CC BY-NC-SA 3.0
Overall, the question to think about here is this: What can I substitute or change in my product, problem or process? You should think about substituting part(s) of your product or process for something else.

Guiding questions:

Use these instead of starting with: 'I can ...'

Combine
Author/Copyright holder: Teo Yu Siang and Interaction Design Foundation. Copyright terms and licence: CC BY-NC-SA 3.0
The overall question to think about here is: How can I combine two or more parts of my product, problem, or process so as to achieve a different product, problem, or process to enhance synergy? Creative thinking involves combining previously unrelated ideas, products, or services in order to create something new and innovative.

Guiding questions:

Adapt
Author/Copyright holder: Teo Yu Siang and Interaction Design Foundation. Copyright terms and licence: CC BY-NC-SA 3.0
Overall, the question you need to think about is: What can I adapt in my product, problem, or process? Think about which parts of the product or process you could adapt so as to solve your problem.

Guiding questions:

Modify (Also Magnify and Minify)
Author/Copyright holder: Teo Yu Siang and Interaction Design Foundation. Copyright terms and licence: CC BY-NC-SA 3.0
Overall, the question you need to focus on is this: What can I modify or put more or less emphasis on in my product, problem, or process? Can I change the item in some way? Can I change meaning, colour, motion, sound, smell, form, or shape? It's time to magnify or exaggerate your idea, product, problem, or process-or to minify it. These questions will give you new insights about which components are the most important ones. Think about changing part or all of the current situation or product. Alternatively, distort the product in an unusual way.

Guiding questions:

Put to Another Use
Author/Copyright holder: Teo Yu Siang and Interaction Design Foundation. Copyright terms and licence: CC BY-NC-SA 3.0
The overall question to consider here is this: How can I put the thing to other uses? What are new ways to use the product or service? Can I reach out to other users if I modify the product? Is there another market for the product? It's time to work out how you may be able to put your current product or idea to other uses and purposes.

Guiding questions:

Eliminate
Author/Copyright holder: Teo Yu Siang and Interaction Design Foundation. Copyright terms and licence: CC BY-NC-SA 3.0
Your overall question to consider here is: What can I eliminate or simplify in my product, design, or service? Think of what might happen if you were to eliminate, simplify, reduce, or minimise parts of your idea. If you continue to trim your idea, service, or process-you can gradually narrow your challenge down to that part or function that is most important.

Guiding questions:

Rearrange
Author/Copyright holder: Teo Yu Siang and Interaction Design Foundation. Copyright terms and licence: CC BY-NC-SA 3.0
Overall, you have to ask yourself this question: How can I change, reorder, or reverse the product or problem? What would I do if I had to do this process in reverse?

Guiding questions:

What can I rearrange in some way - can I interchange components, the pattern, or the layout?

Can I change the pace or schedule?

What would I do if part of your problem, product or process worked in reverse?

I can rearrange what in what way such that this happens?

Historical Background

Alex Osborn, the originator of the brainstorming method, originally came up with many of the questions used in the SCAMPER technique. However, it was Bob Eberle, an education administrator and author, who organised these questions into the SCAMPER mnemonic.

The Take Away

The SCAMPER method helps you generate ideas for new products and services by encouraging you to ask seven different types of questions, which will help you understand how you can innovate and improve existing products, services, problems and ideas. SCAMPER is an acronym formed from the abbreviation of: Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify (Also magnify and minify), Put to another use , Eliminate, and Reverse. SCAMPER is a lateral thinking technique which challenges the status quo and helps you explore new possibilities.
