Chat, have you ever wanted to go to a college but instead of learning about math, science, or literature, you’re learning about internet beef and cooking? Okay, the culinary arts are an important life skill, but maybe internet beef isn’t the type of protein we should be cooking up in masses. Popular Twitch streamer (the third most followed person on the platform) Kai Cenat has enlisted the help of a few friends to open Streamer University, a weekend-long online event taking place on Twitch. It’s become a lead-up to the main event on Monday, as Cenat will be livestreaming the American Music Awards from his Twitch, becoming the first streamer to legally broadcast the show.
Cenat’s goal is simple: to create a free boot camp where up-and-coming streamers could learn about content creation. While the courses hosted by other internet personalities are all available to stream on Twitch, 120 participants were invited to a real university, University of Akron, as an “all inclusive trip” where they live on campus and attend classes in person. They’ll also be streaming from their own channels, showing off what they’ve learned, like getting into fights with each other. Maybe it’s actually a study group for Internet Beef 101.
Below are all the influencers announced as professors for the boot camp, some have not announced what their specific niche is yet.

Beginning on May 22, you can check out classes and participants’ livestreams on Twitch in the “Streamer University” category. For his opening stream titled Orientation/Move In day, he accumulated over 10 million views, and it didn’t stop just there. Cenat has been popping up on various streamers from his students in a perfect world to stop any more fights from happening (or just confirming that they’re staged).
