AI Builder Foundations
Students learn how modern builders think, prompt, organize information, test ideas, and use AI responsibly.

An AI-supported youth tech pathway and the first flagship initiative of The Celeste Project — helping students build future-ready skills through small builder missions, responsible AI literacy, proof-of-work projects, and pathway visibility.
The Three Pillars
Every EyeRise Quest experience moves a student through three simple, repeatable stages.
Students learn how modern builders think, prompt, organize information, test ideas, and use AI responsibly.
Students complete small builder missions that create visible proof of what they are learning.
Each skill connects to real possibilities in AI, data, cybersecurity, digital business, entrepreneurship, college, and careers.
Pilot Model
The first EyeRise Quest pilot is being designed to help students complete a future-facing builder pathway — learning how to think like modern builders, create clear AI instructions, organize information, test outputs, reflect on responsible technology, and package their work as proof.
Pilot length
4 weeks
Pilot size
8–12 students
Location
Triangle area of North Carolina
Focus
AI literacy, builder mindset, responsible technology, confidence, and future pathways
Format
Web-based platform with optional guided community sessions
Final outcome
Student project showcase
The first pilot is being designed for the Triangle area of North Carolina, with proximity to universities, RTP-area technology companies, community organizations, and potential future sponsors.
EyeRise Quest is designed to remain lightweight and flexible. Students should eventually be able to access the platform through a browser on a phone, tablet, Chromebook, or laptop — while trusted community spaces may help remove barriers such as limited internet access, shared devices, lack of quiet space, and inconsistent adult support.
The Curriculum Arc
A focused arc of builder missions that grows AI literacy, confidence, and a clear view of what's next.
How modern builders think, learn, and use AI as a creative and practical tool.
Small, repeatable building blocks students use to organize information and assemble ideas.
Learning to give AI clear, intentional instructions that produce useful results.
A reusable prompt framework students can apply to school, projects, and future work.
Using AI to generate ideas, visuals, and projects that reflect each student's voice.
Learning what AI can and cannot do, plus how to use it safely, honestly, and ethically.
A clear arc of missions that build toward a final student project showcase.
EyeRise Quest is in early-stage development as the first initiative of a nonprofit in formation. A live demo and interest list for the first pilot will be shared as the platform comes online.
