Reimagining career exploration through interactive simulations
Treks set out to rethink how students explore careers, moving beyond passive content into immersive, real-world simulations powered by AI.
The vision was strong, but the product was still undefined. No simulation structure, no AI integration plan, no shared picture of what to build. That is when we stepped in.
Built with Cambiar Education
Quest is a venture of Cambiar Education, a US nonprofit dedicated to scaling bold ideas that accelerate student success for all.
Cambiar incubates programs that have big ideas on how to serve the most vulnerable youth. Quest is one of them.
87%
of graduates cite work-based learning as crucial for career preparation.
2%
of high school students actually complete an internship today.
The problem Quest is solving is both urgent and real.
350+ Students
Reached in the Pilot
Validated with real learners from day one.
3 Role-Based Simulation Paths
Career journeys built around real-world decision-making.
Reusable Simulation Framework
A scalable base for future careers and learning experiences.
We created Treks’ visual identity to make career exploration feel approachable, inclusive, and engaging.
Meet Kit, the mascot who accompanies students across every simulation.
Designed to be inclusive and relatable, Kit adapts to each experience, reinforcing the idea that students can explore different paths and imagine themselves in many possible futures.
“I realized there are really a lot of careers in the world.”
“I realized and confirmed that I like to learn.”
“I learned that I am a very creative person who likes to consider other people’s perspectives.”
“The Analyzer simulation helped me realize I’m quick with critical thinking, and that I can analyze information and find strong evidence.”
"The team is very collaborative and enthusiastic, and has people of varying skills and experience; they seem to enjoy what they do and care about their projects and customers deeply."
