Kai Cenat, a top Twitch personality, has started something new with Streamer University, a three-day online event that mixes fun, learning, and guidance. The event picked 120 wannabe streamers as "students" and got big-name internet stars to be "professors." This shows how creator groups are changing, working together, and helping new talent grow. Streamer University will happen from May 22 to May 25, 2025, and will have people talking on social media.

Kai Cenat drops a trailer welcoming the new students who will be attending Streamer University.

"trailer for a scam… genius," an X user commented on Kai Cenat's trailer.

The idea of getting successful creators to teach blurs the line between influencer culture and organized mentoring, pointing to a new way of doing things in the creator world.

The guests at the event cover a broad range of digital fields, from music and gaming to wellness and lifestyle. Whether it’s DDG offering insight from his dual careers in music and content, or ExtraEmily bringing her vibrant energy from variety streaming, the event's strength lies in its diversity of voices. The event's power comes from its mix of different voices. These individuals do more than just entertain - they show new creators the many paths they can take in the crowded digital world.

"This is how you uplift the culture," another user commented.
"All that for 4 days of "content"? Ain't no way," another user reacted.

Streamer University sets its sights high with a bold curriculum

The curriculum details are still a secret, but the course offerings at Streamer University hint at big goals. Topics like Sex Education, Business Management, and Film and Acting show the program’s focus on helping students grow while planning for professional success. Nobody knows yet who will lead these classes, but the wide range of subjects points to a broader approach to becoming a successful online figure today.

The project, however, has come with a fair share of obstacles. Even though it’s exciting and massive in scale, Kai Cenat shared that he regrets the backlash he has faced. During a recent livestream, he talked about the increasing tension creators deal with when juggling public expectations and taking creative risks. He spoke about the financial burdens and waves of online criticism, showing how much pressure big influencers face to keep innovating while under constant judgment.


Streamer University marks an ambitious step in the changing world of digital media. It’s a blend of mentorship and entertainment, giving fresh streamers their first shot at standing in the limelight. Whether it turns out to be a one-time thing or forms the base for future projects, this initiative is already leaving its mark on creator culture.
