Our Team and Mission

Polygence is a team of academics and educators united in our passion to make research more widely accessible to all interested students.

That is why we decided to establish an education company that has the potential to inspire and transform the academic journeys of generations of students to come.

This is how Polygence got started -- excited to mobilize our academic networks in the academic community, we wanted to give the gift of learning and intellectual inquiry to students from all over the world.

Polygence is committed to cultivating multi-faceted intelligence -- with mentors covering diverse disciplines across the humanities and STEM, we are excited to embark on a journey to transform education.
