🎓 “I Already Take CTE Classes — Why Would I Need LAZR Dojo?”
If you’re already in a Career and Technical Education (CTE) program, you’re ahead of the game. You’ve chosen to learn real-world skills while still in high school — that’s a smart move.
But here’s the truth:
CTE gives you the foundation.
LAZR Dojo gives you the production experience that brings that foundation to life.
You’re learning the “how” in school — we help you do it for real.
Plus the arcade funds your tech upgrades! Most schools can get the latest GPUs or development kits from Nintendo we can and will!
⚙️ 1. CTE Teaches the Skills — We Teach the Delivery
Your CTE teacher shows you how to code, design, or create. But what happens after you’ve learned the basics?
At LAZR Dojo, you take those same skills and apply them to real projects — games, digital art, or VR experiences that look and feel professional.
“CTE gives you the playbook. LAZR Dojo lets you run the plays.”
Instead of doing assignments just for a grade, you’ll be creating projects that you can show off to colleges, employers, and the public.
🧠2. Real Industry Tools, Real Studio Workflow
In most CTE programs, you’ll use educational software that’s great for learning.
At LAZR Dojo, we use the same tools the pros use, including:
Unity and Unreal Engine for game design and development
Blender and Maya for 3D modeling
Photoshop and Substance Painter for texture and art creation
VR hardware and motion capture for immersive experiences
You’re not just learning concepts — you’re working in a real studio environment.
When you graduate, you’ll already have experience with tools used by studios like Epic Games, Nintendo, and DreamWorks.
🎓 3. Your CTE Credits + Our Projects = A College-Ready Portfolio
Here’s a secret most students don’t realize:
Colleges and scholarships don’t just want grades — they want proof you can create something original.
That’s where LAZR Dojo comes in.
We take what you’re learning in your CTE class and help you turn it into a polished portfolio piece.
Maybe it’s a level you built in Unity, a VR art scene, or a cinematic animation — whatever it is, it becomes a showcase of your creativity and skill.
“Anyone can list a course. Few can show a world they built.”
đź‘Ą 4. Team-Based Learning That Feels Like a Real Studio
Most CTE classes focus on individual projects and grades.
At LAZR Dojo, you join creative teams — just like in a professional studio.
You’ll work with other students as:
🎨 Artists
đź’» Programmers
🧠Producers
🎧 Sound or motion specialists
You’ll learn how to collaborate, give feedback, and meet deadlines — the same workflow used by real studios.
That experience not only boosts your college applications — it prepares you for how creative industries actually work.
🕹️ 5. You Can Monetize What You Create
CTE classes teach you career skills.
LAZR Dojo teaches you how to turn those skills into real opportunities.
Our students can:
Publish their own games and assets to the Unity or Unreal Marketplace
Sell digital art or 3D models online
Showcase projects at local events
Build a brand or small studio before college even starts
“You’re not just learning a trade — you’re building your future.”
🌟 6. We Connect You to What Comes Next
We don’t stop when the class ends.
LAZR Dojo connects students to:
Unity and Unreal certification pathways
Internships and esports development programs
Local tech partnerships and scholarship leads
That means your CTE experience doesn’t just sit on a transcript — it evolves into a professional pathway.
🚀 The Bottom Line
CTE gives you the foundation.
LAZR Dojo gives you the experience, mentorship, and exposure that turn those lessons into something real.
When you combine them, you don’t just graduate with a certificate — you graduate with a portfolio, a network, and a future.
“CTE gives you the knowledge. LAZR Dojo makes you unstoppable.”
🕹️ From Play to Professional — where students turn classroom skills into creative careers.
