自然选举 | Natural Election
在 “自然选举” 的政治中，竞选活动的动机是让他们的动物候选人当选市长。但是玩家的动机是什么呢？在本周的课程中，我们创造了三种激励方式来激励团队登上排行榜：威望 —— 在下一期任务简报中被提及；创造力 —— 有机会在未来的游戏中添加一个新的动物群体；知识 —— 与合成学院游戏开发者进行一对一的问答环节。虽然这些机会是为前五名玩家准备的，但这个问题是面向所有合成学院的学生的：什么激励因素能让你发挥出最佳水平？
In the politics of Natural Election, the incentive for campaigns is to have their animal candidate elected as mayor. But what about the incentive for players? In this week’s session, we’ve created three types of incentives to motivate teams onto the leaderboard: prestige — a shoutout in the next Mission Brief; creativity — the chance to add a new animal group into future games; and knowledge — a one-on-one Q&A session with Synthesis game developers. Although these opportunities are for the Top 5 Players, the question is for all Synthesis students: what incentives motivate you to be at your best?

激励因素 | Incentives
真正驱使人们采取行动的是什么 —— 奖品、认可还是体验的刺激？本次课程探讨了体育、商业及其他领域的动机心理学。是的，激励因素会塑造行为。但是当风险很高时，哪种激励效果最好呢？本周，学生们探索正确的奖励如何带来正确的结果。
What truly drives people to take action—prizes, recognition, or the thrill of experience? This session explores the psychology of motivation across sports, business, and beyond. Yes, incentives shape behavior. But which kind works best when the stakes are high? This week, students explore how the right reward can lead to the right results.
