A Celeste Project initiative
EyeRise Quest — Learn. Build. Rise.

EyeRise Quest — Learn the skill. Build the proof. See the path.

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

Learn. Build. Rise.

Every EyeRise Quest experience moves a student through three simple, repeatable stages.

AI Builder Foundations

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

Project Proof

Students complete small builder missions that create visible proof of what they are learning.

Future Pathways

Each skill connects to real possibilities in AI, data, cybersecurity, digital business, entrepreneurship, college, and careers.

Pilot Model

Starting small. Building with purpose.

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

Designed with proximity in mind

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.
