3月31日~4月6日 | March 31 – April 6
本周，Synthesis课程将帮助学生深入思考如何在混乱中建立清晰的策略。在Polis游戏中，学生将面临零声望起步的挑战，通过合作和信息共享来逐步建立成功策略；而在“超级协作者训练”讨论中，学生将反思如何成为一个能带动团队、提升协作氛围的关键人物。两者都强调一个共同主题：好的结果来自于良好的思维过程与团队协作。
This week, Synthesis sessions guide students in building strategic clarity out of initial confusion. In the Polis game, they’ll face the challenge of starting from zero prestige, using teamwork and shared information to craft successful strategies. Meanwhile, the “Supercollaborator Training” discussion helps students reflect on what it takes to become a team-boosting, collaboration-enhancing force. Both sessions revolve around the same core theme: great outcomes come from strong thinking and collaboration.

本周在Polis中，学生将进入一个起点模糊、规则复杂的策略世界。一开始，每个团队都没有声望，面对未知，他们必须快速建立“理解感”——弄清游戏规则、目标及合作方式。这是战略思维的第一步。在课程中，导师将观察学生如何分享信息、设定目标并从失败中学习。因为真正的胜利并不是赢得比赛，而是理解“为什么”以及“怎么赢”。
In Polis this week, students enter a strategic world where the starting point is unclear and rules feel complex. Each team begins with zero prestige. Faced with the unknown, they must rapidly build a sense of understanding—grasping how the game works, identifying goals, and figuring out how to collaborate. This is the first step in strategic thinking. Coaches will observe how students share information, set learning goals, and grow from mistakes. Because true victory isn’t about winning the game—it’s about understanding why and how to win.

💡 讨论 | Discussions
超级协作者训练 | Supercollaborator Training
在Synthesis中，“超级协作者”代表最高水平的团队玩家。他们不是完美无缺，而是通过大量练习，发展出了自己对沟通、团队意识和解决问题的理解。本周的讨论中，学生将通过回顾真实的课堂片段，分析在面对复杂团队互动时什么样的行为更有效。这是一个让学生慢下来、认真思考如何成为团队中积极力量的机会。
At Synthesis, a “Supercollaborator” is the highest achievement in team play. They’re not perfect, but they’ve practiced enough to develop their own views on communication, mindset, and problem-solving. This week’s discussion invites students to slow down and reflect on real situations drawn from recent Synthesis classes. They’ll analyze how to respond effectively in tricky team dynamics. It’s a chance to think deeply about how to become a powerful force for good in any team.
