本周，Synthesis课程将深入探讨战略思维与不可预测事件的影响。在“比邻星”游戏中，学生将学习如何优化资源管理，探索行星开发的不同策略，并适应不断变化的挑战；在讨论环节，他们将面对“黑天鹅事件”——那些极不可能发生但一旦发生影响深远的危机。这将帮助学生培养更敏锐的决策能力和批判性思维。
This week, Synthesis focuses on strategic thinking and unpredictable events. In the “Proxima” game, students will learn how to optimize resource management, explore different planetary development strategies, and adapt to evolving challenges. In the discussion session, they will confront “Black Swan” events—rare but highly impactful crises. This experience will sharpen their decision-making skills and critical thinking.

本周的“比邻星”不仅仅是一场游戏，而是一堂关于资源优化和策略制定的实践课。每张地图都会教授不同的关键概念，例如：
This week, “Proxima” is not just a game—it’s a hands-on lesson in resource optimization and strategic planning. Each map teaches a key concept:
- 耕种的重要性——如何最大化资源收益
The importance of cultivation—maximizing resource production - 税务卫星的作用——理解经济系统的影响
The role of tax satellites—understanding economic systems - 改造行星——让不可居住的星球适合人类生存
Making planets habitable—turning uninhabitable worlds into livable ones - 相互生长卫星——探索复杂的连锁效应
Intergrowth satellites—exploring complex chain reactions - 日食的影响——如何适应环境突变
The impact of eclipses—adapting to environmental shifts
学生需要带着学习的心态进行游戏，提出问题，测试假设，并为未来更困难的挑战做好准备。
Students are encouraged to play with a learning mindset, ask questions, test assumptions, and prepare for harder challenges ahead.

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:
- 哪个策略在游戏中最有效？为什么？
Which strategy was the most effective in the game? Why? - 你如何调整策略以适应不可预测的挑战？
How did you adjust your strategy to adapt to unpredictable challenges?

本周的讨论课关注“黑天鹅事件”——那些发生概率极低但一旦发生影响巨大的情况。学生们不仅要解决虚构的情境，还将探讨一个真实世界的黑天鹅问题，这是他们未来可能需要面对的挑战。此外，讨论的重点不只是提供答案，更在于提出真正有价值的问题，因为真正优秀的团队不只是寻找解决方案，更会提出最重要的问题。
This week’s discussion focuses on “Black Swan” events—situations that are highly unlikely but have massive consequences if they occur. Students will analyze fictional scenarios and tackle a real-world Black Swan problem, one that they may have to face as adults. The session isn’t just about finding answers—it’s about asking the right questions. Great teams don’t just solve problems; they identify the most critical questions to ask.
