1月22日~1月28日 | Jan 22 – Jan 28

我们上周开设了新的游戏时间：太平洋时间下午4点到5点（北京时间周日早上7~8点）。希望准时见到您的孩子！
Last week we opened up a new recurring Play time on Saturdays from 4-5pm PT. We hope to see your child there!

本周我们有新的挑战和讨论供您的孩子享受。
We have new challenges and discussions this week for your child to enjoy. 

游戏 | Play
电池未含 | Batteries Not Included

详情 | Details

上周，我们的《电池未含》发布取得了巨大成功。一场接一场的比赛中，我们看到相同的故事在数十次比赛中上演——学生们在第一场比赛中毫无头绪，然后在接下来的几场比赛中开始测试策略，并最终在比赛结束时变成一个精密高效的团队。
Last week, our Batteries Not Included launch was an enormous success. Match after match, we watched the same story play out dozens of times. Students would start without a clue on their first match, start testing strategies during the next few matches, and finally turn into a well-oiled, precision-performance team by the end of the session.

由此很好地归纳了 Syntheis 的学习方式：创造情境，让学生在不断变化中的练习未来他们所需的批判性思维、问题解决和团队合作技能。
That sums up how Synthesis works: creating situations where students practice the critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills they’ll need in an ever-changing future.

如果那是上周的情况，这周还将会有什么呢？我们会把难度提升到一个全新的水平！新的场景和定制军团将迫使学生远离他们的舒适区，他们必须放弃到目前为止想出的每个策略，并重新思考他们认为自己对游戏的了解。
So if that was last week, what does that leave for this one? Well, we’ll be cranking the difficulty to a whole other level. The new scenarios and craftable minions will force students way out of their comfort zone, where they’ll have to throw away every strategy they’ve come up with so far and rethink everything they think they know about the game.

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。

讨论 | Discussions
运气还是技能 | Luck vs. Skill

机会的魔力？还是努力的结果？在下一次讨论会话中，我们将深入探讨运气与技能相遇的世界。从偶然的发明到辛勤努力的成功，我们将探索来自商业、科学、文学和艺术的真实场景。这是纯粹的好运，还是实践和天赋的结果？这由学生来决定。
The magic of chance? Or the power of effort? In our next Discussion session, we’re diving into a world where luck meets skill. From accidental inventions to hard-earned successes, we’ll explore real-world scenarios from business, science, literature, and art. Is it just good fortune, or is it the result of practice and talent? It’s up to students to decide.

这里没有对与错的答案，只有与来自世界各地的孩子们进行的有趣对话。
No right or wrong answers here, just interesting conversations with kids from around the world.
