My daughter’s mentor through Polygence provided excellent support for her summer project - but also motivation for next steps with college applications. The platform was easy to use and they checked in frequently to make sure everyone was pleased with the experience.

Our mentor did a great job of guiding my child through the project procedure and breaking down complex concepts. The mentor encouraged my child to think critically, which was helpful in boosting their confidence and skills. However, I felt that the overall experience could have been slightly improved, by increasing the current limited involvement of parents, especially for younger kids. While promoting independence is important, I believe that some level of parental engagement is necessary to reinforce learning and provide additional support.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Sly! We are so happy to hear that the experience helped boost your student’s confidence. We will take your feedback on parental involvement and explore how we might invite parents to get more involved in the project for younger students.
