Students play with and create their own communities while building their own games in a state of the art studio that makes real games.
How is this possible? We support modding(game modification) and foundational skill building based on what drives them. Not some canned curriculum designed for a test.
2 weeks for foundational work.
Then they will choose a pathway that leads to producing their own game or getting that certification they need. We do not control the testing fees but we will make sure they are ready!
If your kid wants to make the next Minecraft for VR then they should join soon.
Here is what our play looks like
Here is what our work looks like
VR Headsets, work stations with Wacom tablets and your dream monitors to edit video
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
schools are fighting a tough fight â and parents feel it.
Budgets are tight. Programs are stretched. And families everywhere are asking:
Are my kids actually learning hands-on skills for tomorrow?
Do they have access to real equipment and real mentors?
Are schools fully preparing them for careers in a tech-driven world?
Do the teachers need help from veterans in the community?
Instead of waiting for those answersâĻ
We built a solution, for your child.

LAZR DoJo is an enrichment center powered by Larry Stoweâs vision of an indie utopia!
Welcome to LAZR Dojo
Connected to LAZR Studios, a one-of-a-kind Virtual Reality Arcade and Creative Studio, the LAZR Dojo is where gamers, students, and indie developers transform their passion into production.
This isnât a traditional classroom. At LAZR Dojo, there are no gradesâonly projects. Students learn by creating, receiving feedback, and iterating until their work meets professional standards. This production-driven model removes limits on learning and opens the door to limitless creativity.
Here, your gamerâyoung or oldâcan channel their love for play into a pathway for success. Along the way, theyâll join a social collective where they earn badges, form teams, and work together to bring their dream game or digital production to life.
From prototypes to certifications, from launching a company to releasing products on asset stores or gaming platforms, LAZR Dojo helps every creator find their next step. Our mission isnât to build one big monolithâitâs to grow an ecosystem where many independent studios and creators can thrive.
At LAZR Dojo, weâre not just teaching skills. Weâre fostering entrepreneurship, innovation, and the power of community in the heart of Winston-Salem.
The stars arenât the limitâyour imagination is..
We use a leveling system. Based on anime, badges, along with themes from Japanese feudal times and some of the best indie gaming learning platforms Unity3d or Unreal Engine. We use the same tools exclusive CTE programs use and then some.
Gaming isnât all either. We support and teach Youtubers, streamers, social media giants to help them grow their talent in video production and AI work flows.
It all starts with that first project. Let us know what you are into and the curriculum will be hand picked for you because we are not limited by teaching to the test. We teach to the dream.
