1:1 STEM Research Mentorship Program connecting Georgian students (grades 9-12) with research opportunities around the world, helping turn interests into impactful scientific work.

Here’s how it works:

• Sign Up: Fill out a form sharing your interests, background, and goals.

• Orientation: Meet your fellow students, swap ideas, and learn more about the program.

• Personalized Support: Based on your interests, you’ll be grouped with others and receive 1:1 weekly guidance. We’ll help you secure a research mentor and guide you through your project step-by-step.

• Expert Guidance: Attend specialized optional extra help sessions based on your research area.

• Present The Research: At the end of the program, every student will write a research paper and present their findings in a global competition. The programs goal is to support students until the end of this journey. 

At GYST, we build up the Georgian community by empowering children and exposing them to new opportunities to push their limits and grow. 

In America, kids can not attend school without vaccines, and are encouraged by the government to receive yearly checkups by both dentists and doctors. 

Many kids in Georgia haven't been to either in years. Culturally, many don't go until they can no longer stand the pain.

Building the habit of getting checks ups in youth is imperative. The problem is that healthcare costs a lot of money, and even when accessible, many parents can not trust healthcare professionals with their kids. 

Step 1 of improving this system starts from the bottom up. Help us raise money to hire a certified, trustworthy, dentist and doctor for Orphans who have not had the privilege of visiting one. These healthcare professionals will conduct full assessments and provide treatment for each kid in the shelter. The fundraising goal is $2,000.

I organized an international chess meet-up between Irvington High School and Promete Private School in Tbilisi, Georgia. This initiative brought together young chess players from around the world, fostering cross-cultural connections and promoting intellectual development.
