Polygence Pods offer beginner-friendly, collaborative group learning experiences guided by PhD-level mentors, culminating in a tangible research project artifact for college applications.
Polygence Pods - Research and Statistics is a 6-week online program designed for high school students to learn foundational concepts in statistics and data analysis for research projects. Students work in small groups of 2 to 5 peers, guided by an expert mentor. Each weekly 1-hour session combines lectures and group discussions, culminating in a final project where students apply their learned knowledge. The curriculum covers key terms, basic statistical concepts, finding research sources, different data collection methods, ethical data collection (including the IRB process), data presentation and visualization, descriptive statistics, and inferential statistics (hypothesis development, p-value, correlation, and regression analysis). The program emphasizes practical analysis of pre-selected datasets suitable for beginners, aiming to equip students with the basics for future data analysis in research. Students develop skills in understanding new concepts, asking questions, explaining their thinking, and communication through discussions and sharing ideas. The program focuses on understanding material and engaging with the topic rather than grades or tests, and students create a tangible final deliverable.
Students attend a 1-hour live online session featuring a mix of lecture and group discussion, then work on assignments and a final deliverable applying their knowledge.
This program is ideal for high school students who are curious about statistics and data analysis, want to learn foundational concepts in a collaborative setting, and are looking for a lower-commitment introduction to research.
