Streamer University (also known as StreamerU or SU) was a temporary educational initiative co-hosted by internet personality Kai Cenat and the University of Akron.[1] Established as a collaborative project for entertainment and educational purposes, the program aimed to provide training and resources to emerging and established content creators seeking to enhance their streaming and digital content production skills, as well as having opportunities to showcase their personalities and meet other creators.[2] 120 and more participants were selected for the program, comprising a mix of smaller and well-known streamers.[2]
Curriculum
[edit]Streamer University offered a range of classes covering topics such as sex education, business management, music, film, and other areas relevant to content creation.[3][4][5] The faculty included AMP members Agent00, Chrisnxtdoor, and Duke Dennis, alongside 15 additional instructors drawn from the content creation community.[6] In addition to in-person instruction for participants, the classes were streamed live on the instructors' respective channels, allowing online audiences to engage with the educational material as well.
Controversies
[edit]Streamer University received mixed reactions during and after its retreat in Akron, Ohio. While initially promoted as an educational opportunity for aspiring content creators, the program drew criticism over its participant selection process, with some alleging favoritism toward individuals already affiliated with Kai Cenat's community.[7] The curriculum also came under scrutiny after critics pointed to the inclusion of sex education, which some considered inappropriate.[7] Safety concerns were raised following an incident in which a participant sustained an eye injury during a game involving Orbeez.[8] Additionally, a rejection clip featuring applicant Zoe Spencer went viral and prompted public discussion about transparency and inclusivity.[9] These events were widely reported by outlets such as The Times of India and discussed across social media platforms including TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram.
