本周,Synthesis课程将带领学生们通过“Flashcard Frenzy”游戏巩固除法运算的流利度,并体验改进后的“Batteries Not Included”游戏中策略带来的双重影响。此外,讨论环节将引导学生思考机器人与人类关系中的道德问题,灵感源自阿西莫夫的经典作品《我,机器人》。
This week, Synthesis lessons will help students strengthen their division fluency with the “Flashcard Frenzy” game and experience the dual impacts of strategies in the upgraded “Batteries Not Included” game. Additionally, the discussion session will lead students to explore ethical issues in robot-human relations, inspired by Asimov’s classic work I, Robot.

电池未含 | Batteries Not Included
我们很高兴学生们能够体验“电池未含”2.0版本。有什么升级?团队部署策略后会面临二级后果。这意味着团队将面临两种决策:短期(应对超级计算机的策略)和长期(预见一个升级病毒对另一个病毒的影响)。但首先,他们需要弄清楚这个新升级的工作方式。请记住,如果您的孩子想要更多机会来尝试这个问题,我们将在11月29日的周末提供免费额外课程。
We’re excited for students to experience Version 2.0 of Batteries Not Included. The upgrade? A secondary level of consequences for the strategies teams deploy. That means that teams will face two types of decisions: the short-term (reacting to the strategy of the supercomputer); and the long-term (anticipating the consequences of deploying one upgraded virus over another). But first, they’ll need to figure out how this new upgrade works. And remember, if your student wants more chances to tinker with this problem, we’re hosting FREE EXTRA SESSIONS during the weekend of November 29th.

以下是一些后续反思问题,如果您希望与您的孩子讨论这次经历的话。
Here are some follow-up reflection questions, in case you’d like to discuss the experience with your child.
- 游戏的升级是否要求团队思维也要升级?为什么或为什么不?
Did the game upgrade require an upgrade to your team’s thinking? Why or why not? - 在生活中,您认为短期反应和长期规划哪个更重要?为什么?
In life, what do you think is more important: short-term reactions or long-term planning? Why?

讨论 | Discussions
我,机器人 | I, Robot
当学生们在“不含电池”中与超级计算机对抗时,本周的讨论将围绕同一主题展开。艾萨克·阿西莫夫在近75年前写了《我,机器人》。其设定是:机器人必须遵守规则来保护人类和自身。问题是:有时候,机器人会困惑。本周的讨论受阿西莫夫的作品启发。每个场景都设想了机器人与人类关系中的道德决策。当然,这里没有对错之分,这只是科幻小说。暂时而言。
As students face off against a supercomputer in Batteries Not Included, our discussion this week turns to the same topic. Isaac Asimov wrote I, Robot almost 75 years ago. The premise: robots must follow rules to protect humans and themselves. The problem: sometimes, robots get confused. This week’s conversation is inspired by Asimov’s work. Each scenario imagines an ethical decision around robot-human relations. Of course, there are no right or wrong answers. It’s just science fiction. For now.
