Twitch sensation Kai Cenat has officially debuted his latest initiative, in a bold and creative suggestion that takes the combo of entertainment, education, and community. Streamer University. This weekend-long event was designed as a creative experience for aspiring content creators to learn the ins and outs of streaming while giving those who attend a chance to work together, learn, and create in a one-of-a-kind setting.
On May 6, Cenat announced the news via a Hogwarts-inspired Instagram video, welcoming his fans into the “very first class of Streamer University.” He broadcast his enthusiasm while dressed in academic robes and using school-themed props. “You’ll find a school here which promotes chaos, and is a king of content.” The video hit the right notes — lighthearted, imaginative, and all the infectious energy that Cenat is known for.
The Vision, Months in the Making
It’s not a one-off gimmick that we will move on from. The idea had been brewing for months, Cenat previously teasing the idea through a Twitch livestream back in February. That stream, he announced, he would be renting out the grounds of an actual university for one entire weekend for creators of all sizes, from brand new streamers to long-time veterans, to use.
“They’re going to sign and put out enrolls and applications for people to enroll in the university I’m going to,” he said. “There’s nothing about being big there, there’s nothing about being a small streamer, and you can stream all weekend.”
As it turns out, Cenat’s wider philosophy is this democratic, open-door approach. Creating content should be fun, accessible, and collaborative. Streamer University is able to provide something truly unique in today’s digital-first world with its offering of a physical space where people can come together, learn from one another, and generate non-stop content.
Celebrity Professors and Viral Curriculum
It while be taking place at a university, this won’t be the typical sort of lectures. Rather than the classroom, Cenat imagines a future lineup of celebrity “professors” guiding themed classes that are also somehow lessons you can livestream.
For instance, he also teased a science segment hosted by YouTube engineer and famed experimenter Mark Rober. Instead, Rober’s presence would be ‘crazy experiments for everybody’s stream,’ in true streaming fashion.
The idea of making MrBeast, the YouTube philanthropist and entrepreneur who spends nine zeros on giveaway money and doubles down on his business savvy, into a finance class instructor floated in Cenat’s tweet. Considering the potential guest stars of Streamer University, the educational value is well beyond streaming tips—you are talking branding, audience engagement, content diversification, and monetization.
Not Just an Event—A Movement
Having amassed over 17 million followers across his platforms, Kai Cenat has been more than just a streamer for some time. Afterparties and to Met Gala, he’s a cultural force collaborating with major names in music and entertainment. Launched with Streamer University, he’s using that power to lift up the next generation of content creators, giving them the tools, exposure, and community support to succeed.
The spirit of this initiative, however, is what makes it particularly powerful. Streamer University isn’t about competition; It’s about collaboration, all about creativity, and most of all, opportunity. It heralds what becomes an annual event or exemplifies similar creator-led types of programming, signaling a shift in how the streaming industry can give back and grow.

For fans and aspiring streamers alike, Streamer University offers a rare chance to turn passion into practice while rubbing shoulders (and sharing screens) with some of the biggest names in the game.
As Cenat said in his welcome message, “I look forward to seeing you all on campus for our first-ever semester.” If the buzz around the launch is any indication, Streamer University is poised to become one of the most exciting and innovative creator events of the year.
