Polygence hosted its 11th Symposium of Rising Scholars on September 21st, where Polygence students from all over the world came together virtually to present their projects.
Participants were able to show off their hard work by presenting their findings to peers, experts and judges. Half way through the Symposium event we were joined by panelists Marina Lee and Shayantan Rahman, who spoke about keeping your head above water in the college admissions process. The panelists were able to answer engaging questions sent over by our participants, which sparked a great discussion.
