上周的超级球Hyperball奖杯被“未命名的Y行星”获得,它将不再匿名。这个家族的学生们将在本周的会议上投票决定它的名字(详情请参见视频)。
Last week’s Hyperball Trophy was won by “Unnamed Planet Y,” which will be unnamed no longer. Students in this house will vote to name it during this week’s sessions (see video for more).

四月份,所有的家族都将得到他们的官方名称,由学生选择,以让他们拥有自己社区的所有权。为了平衡超级球 Hyperball 的快节奏和快速转变,本周的游戏是城邦,这是一个资源管理和城市建设的游戏。所需的思考更为深思熟虑,游戏需要更长的时间才能展开。毕竟,生活中的问题不是固定模式的,Synthesis的体验也不是。
In April, all houses will get their official names, chosen by students, to give them ownership of their community. To balance the fast pace and quick pivots of Hyperball, this week’s game is Polis, the game of resource management and city-building. The thinking required is more deliberate, and the game takes longer to unfold. After all, life’s problems don’t come in a standard size, and neither do Synthesis experiences.

三思而后行 | Look Before You Leap

城邦模拟了需要管理大量信息的真实挑战。在本周的讨论会议上,学生们将有意地接触“信息过载”,以观察其对他们的决策过程的影响。这个练习从简单的情景开始,比如决定是否购买一辆汽车,并逐渐引入额外的复杂性层次。
Polis simulates real-life challenges that require managing extensive information. In this week’s Discussion session, students will be intentionally exposed to “information overload” in order to observe the impact on their decision-making processes. The exercise begins with straightforward scenarios, such as deciding whether to purchase a car, and progressively introduces additional layers of complexity.

与城邦和现实生活一样,团队将不得不评估和组织信息,以得出最佳决策。
As in Polis and in life, teams will have to evaluate and organize information to arrive at an optimal decision.
