有些人可能会说变异是有害的或破坏性的。但事实是，并非所有的变异都是负面的。一次对野生杏仁的单一变异将其从有毒变为可食用，黑豹的颜色变异使其能够在夜间狩猎。当变异发生时，其余的生态系统会进行适应……否则就会消失。
Some might say mutations are harmful or disruptive. But the fact is, not all mutations are negative. A single mutation to wild almonds changed them from poisonous to edible, and a black panther’s color mutation allows it to hunt at night. When a mutation occurs, the rest of the ecosystem adapts… or else.

本周，地图将从正常开始，但下半场将在比赛场地上引入变异。能够快速适应变化的团队将具有优势。那些不能的团队将被抛在后面。让我们看看团队是否能快速思考、适应并团结一致！
This week, maps will start off looking normal, but the second half will introduce mutations to the playing field. Teams that can react quickly to the changes will have the advantage. Teams that don’t will be left behind. Let’s see if teams can think quickly, adapt, and work as one!

反思 | Post-play

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.

• 本周的超级球地图是关于“变异”的 – 在半场时改变它们以强制适应。你的团队设法改变策略了吗？如何改变？
  The Hyperball maps this week were about “mutation” – changing them at halftime to force adaptation. Did your team manage to change strategies? How?
• 你是否觉得在Synthesis期间，你参与团队游戏的能力有所进化？你在哪些方面有所提高？
  Do you feel like your ability to participate and play with a team has evolved during your time at Synthesis? In what ways have you improved?

讨论 | Discussions
竞争 vs. 合作 | Cooperation vs. Competition

生活更多的是关于合作还是竞争？答案当然是“视情况而定”。但取决于什么呢？本周，我们将探讨六种情况，并讨论合作或竞争的心态会产生更好的结果。我们还将公布我们调查中父母对这个问题的看法的结果。(还有时间填表！)
Is life more about cooperation? Or competition? The answer is, of course, “it depends.” But on what? This week, we’ll explore six scenarios and discuss whether a cooperative or competitive mindset will create better outcomes. We’ll also reveal the results of what parents thought about this question from our survey. (There’s still time to fill it out!)
