Polygence Presents: Intellectual Ownership in High School Research

September 17th at 5pm Pacific, 8 pm Eastern

High school research is becoming more common— but as AI makes it easier to produce impressive-looking work, it’s becoming harder to tell who actually did the thinking. Join a Princeton Valedictorian, PhD Marine Biologist, and Doctor of Medical Science for an inside look at what intellectual ownership really means, how selective universities are thinking about authenticity, how academic ownership is evaluated and where the line between legitimate support and AI-driven misconduct lies. You’ll learn how students can conduct research with genuine integrity, develop original ideas, and create work that stands out not because it looks impressive, but because it unmistakably reflects their own thinking.

Attendees will also receive complimentary access to EduFit’s Digital SAT Score Predictor and SAT vs. ACT Decision Framework to support data-driven testing conversations and help families avoid unnecessary testing and burnout.
