About the Symposium
Polygence's Symposium of Rising Scholars is an bi-annual virtual academic conference where Polygence students present and share their research with their peers and experts. The Symposium also includes a College Admissions Panel and Keynote Speech.
Our Spring 2024 Symposium featured over 200 student presenters, and Kelvin Doe as our Keynote Speaker. Kelvin Doe is a young Sierra Leonean engineer, who miraculously built his own radio at the age of 12 and was the youngest ever participant in the "Visiting Practitioner's Program" at MIT. You can watch his speech in our "Keynote speeches" section at the bottom of the page.
