Real research begins
with the right mentor.
Scholarships, mentorship, and project support for emerging young scientists.
Research Mentorship
Students receive guided support as they develop questions, design projects, test ideas, and prepare to communicate their work.
Scholarship Access
Donor support helps reduce financial barriers for students who show strong curiosity, commitment, & scientific promise.
Competition Preparation
Students receive support with abstracts, posters, presentations, judging practice, and science fair readiness.
Project Development
Fellows learn how to build original research projects through experimentation, documentation, data collection, and revision.
We believe young students are capable of real scientific thinking.
The Foundation exists to give students access to the mentorship, materials, structure, and confidence needed to turn curiosity into meaningful research. With the right support, young learners can ask deeper questions, design stronger experiments, and begin seeing themselves as scientists.

Advanced science should be accessible earlier
We are building a research pathway for young students to access mentorship, materials, scholarships, and real scientific opportunities!
Scholarship Access
Your support helps ensure cost is never be the reason a student is left outside the lab. Scholarship funding helps cover lab access, research materials, and mentorship so students with exceptional curiosity can begin real scientific work.
Research Training
Fellows are trained to move from big questions to testable experiments. They learn how to form hypotheses, design controlled methods, collect data, analyze results, and revise when the first attempt fails.
Project Funding
A student’s question only becomes research when they have the tools to test it. Donations fund the supplies, equipment, project materials, mentor time, and presentation resources that turn curiosity into evidence.
Scientific Recognition
Students prepare to present their work through abstracts, posters, judging interviews, research showcases, and science fair opportunities. They learn to explain their ideas clearly and be taken seriously as young scientists.

What Families Say
“Yuri Method is one of the BEST things that happened to my kids in 2025.”
...Tami and her team truly revolutionizing education by removing boundaries that traditional education has been putting over decades. My kids 6 and 10 know more about physics, biology, chemistry, quantum physics, genetics that me honestly. and all of that knowledge comes with play, joy, and engagement level 1000 out of 10 and it takes me good effort to ask them to leave the lab and come home. We are proud and honored to witness disrupting old education system with you all! Thank you!!!

“We are so happy we found Yuri Method”
...My 10 year old son absolutely loves going there. He enjoys hands on experiments and always is so excited to learn new things. Tami is an amazing teacher. She is able to engage kids and does it in a very kind and respectful manner. My son is very happy and I can't recommend Yuri Method enough!

"If you want your child to be interested in science this is the best place!"
...My 10 year old son used to be very skeptical about all enrichment science classes, he said that they are all too easy and childish and he wants to learn some real science. I talked him into trying Yurii Method after reading the reviews and he loved it. Those are the only classes in his entire life that he is always excited about. Their curriculum is very unique and classes are very hands on. My son says Tami is his favorite teacher, she is not only excellent educator but also very caring adult the child wants to spend time with and talk to and a role model to learn from.

"Yuri Method has been such a gift for our family."
...My kids genuinely love going there, which is saying a lot. The science is fun and hands-on, but what really stands out is how caring and patient the teachers are. Both of my kids have special needs, and my 7-year-old in particular can be very tough in group settings. Other programs couldn’t handle him—but Yuri Method never gave up. They welcomed him, worked with him, and made him feel safe and understood. I honestly can’t thank them enough.
