Turning gamers
into creators
A VR arcade and creative studio where students and aspiring streamers build real skills using industry tools — Unity, Unreal, Adobe, OBS, Procreate, Midjourney, the works. Project-based, mentor-led, and unmistakably Winston-Salem.

Six distinct programs, four boot camp tracks, one summer camp. Every program is project-based — students leave with portfolio work, not just lecture notes.
STEAM Camp 2026
Six weekly themes from VR Basics to Streaming, June 29 – Aug 7. Half-day mornings.
OpenStreaming Boot Camp
From "I watch streamers" to going live — overlays, mic, on-camera presence, real public premiere.
OpenSuper Artist League
The human-art club. Manifesto, sketchbook ceremony, gallery show. Pro-craft, not anti-tech.
OpenSuper AGI Art Makers
Master the AI creative stack. Image, video, music, voice — direct it like a pro, not a slot machine.
OpenDigital Art & Editing
Motion graphics, stream overlays, live multi-cam, highlight reels. The production stack behind a stream.

Four equipment tiers from quick-start ($590) to full event production ($8,100). Every line itemized.
OpenInside the arcade.

STEAM Camp
2026
Six weeks. Six themes. Each week a complete arc — Monday through Friday, 9 AM to noon, with VR play, creative builds, coding, and team challenges. Built for kids 8–14, taught at two levels.
Reserve a SpotEvery week, a new theme.
Themes connect — each week builds on the last so by week 6, campers have moved from playing in VR to streaming their own creations.
Level Up Lab
VR fundamentals, Beat Saber, controller mastery, intro to game-making logic. Day 5 mini-tournament.
Pixel to Play
Game art and design. Sprites, palettes, character silhouettes, level layouts. Friday gallery walk.
GameCraft
Build a game, code it in Scratch (Junior) or Unity Visual Scripting (Advanced). Friday playtests.
FuturePlay Lab
Advanced VR — co-op, escape rooms, spatial design, social VR. Friday team escape challenge.
Co-Op Creators
Big team projects. Group games, Roblox builds, multiplayer experiments. Friday: cohort vs cohort.
From Player to Creator
Streaming and content. OBS, intros, light editing, thumbnails. Friday end-of-camp showcase stream.
The rhythm that runs every day.
Predictable schedule, varied content. Same shape every day so campers don't have to relearn the routine each morning.
Daily Schedule · Mon–Fri
THE camp you have been dreaming .
Photo placeholders ready for camp staff to drop weekly highlights, students at work, and Friday showcase shots.
Streaming
Boot Camp
From "I watch streamers" to "I am a streamer." By Friday of Week 4 every student has gone live to a real public audience with their own overlays, alerts, mic, lights, and a small body of clips.
EnrollStreaming is a craft, not luck.
Most students arrive thinking streaming is "turn on the camera and play." We teach the production layer — voice work, on-camera presence, reading chat, recovering from dead air, polished overlays, and how to actually go live without the wheels coming off.
Foundations
Setup, persona, OBS, audio, first private test stream by Friday.
On-Camera
Voice energy, presence, chat reading, dead air, solo run.
Polish
Overlays, alerts, light editing in DaVinci Resolve, intros, outros.
Going Live
Schedule, multistream, Discord community, public premiere stream.
Inside a single day.
The structure that runs all 20 days, shown with Day 5's content. Each block earns its time.
Each student writes their personal pre-stream checklist on an index card: hydrate, mic check, scene check, breath. Used every week from here on.
Stream key, bitrate, resolution, frame rate. What never to share on screen. Demo: Twitch stream key into OBS.
Every student goes live to a private channel for 5 min. Counselors are the only viewers. Open with intro, show something, close with outro.
Each student reviews their VOD. Notes three things that worked, three to fix.
Pairs swap VODs. One constructive note from each pair shared with the group. Builds the muscle to receive feedback without flinching.
What it takes to stream for real.
Just Get Live
Generic webcam, HyperX SoloCast mic, ring light, free OBS / Streamlabs / DaVinci Resolve.
The Sweet Spot
Logitech C920, Blue Yeti, two Elgato Key Light Air, Stream Deck Mini. Everything free on software side.
Studio Grade
Logitech Brio, Shure MV7+, two Key Light Airs, Stream Deck Standard, Elgato green screen, capture card.
Super
Artist League
The human-art club. Manifesto, sketchbook ceremony Day 1, gallery show Day 20. We build the eye, the hand, and the personal voice that no model can replicate. Pro-craft, not anti-tech.
EnrollOur stance on AI art.
We're not anti-technology. We're pro-craft. Skilled human artists will always have a place — concept work, illustration, fine art, character design, animation — because clients want a human point of view, not a remix. Learn to make art that moves people, and AI becomes a tool you can choose to use or ignore. Skill makes the choice meaningful.
Hand & Eye
Observation, line, light, shadow, gesture. Foundations of every drawing.
Color & Emotion
Color theory, watercolor, digital painting, mood. Self-portrait emotional truth.
Character & Story
Silhouette, anatomy, expression. Tell a story in one image, then a four-panel comic.
Voice & Showcase
Find your style. Build a three-piece mini-series. Day 20 gallery show + manifesto.
Said out loud, day one.
The League Oath
"I will draw daily. I will study masters. I will steal techniques and make them mine. I will make art that moves people."
Two tracks: traditional + digital.
We're not rich yet — just talented. We have the digital and virtual tools to share with boot campers. We'll need you to bring your own traditional tools like paint and markers. If you know someone who can fund our whole 4 weeks, let us know and we'll get you the best tools for the job.
Paper, Pencil, Paint
Sketchbook, full pencil set HB–6B, kneaded eraser, fineliner pens, watercolor set, watercolor paper, brushes, mirror. We can build a sketchbook from scratch if needed. Materials kit can be shared.
Tablets & Free Software
Wacom Intuos tablets ($80–$100 retail) — we have 5 on rotation. Krita (free, open-source digital painting), Aseprite for pixel art. No purchase required to attend.
Procreate Studio
iPad 10th gen + Apple Pencil + Procreate ($12.99 one-time). Student favorite if your family already has the iPad. Bring it; we'll teach to it.
Career-Track
Wacom Intuos Pro Medium + Clip Studio Paint Pro + Adobe Photography Plan + your traditional kit. Portfolio-grade for students serious about the craft.
Super AGI
Art Makers
Club
Master the AI creative stack. Image, video, music, voice, 3D — directed like a pro, not a slot machine. The standard is taste and intention, not "it spit out something cool."
EnrollPlatform terms are real.
Major AI platforms (OpenAI, Midjourney, Runway, Suno, Adobe Firefly) require users to be 13 or older to comply with COPPA and platform terms. LAZRdojo follows platform terms strictly. Students under 13 attend the Super Artist League instead.
Foundations
Anatomy of a prompt. Midjourney deep dive. DALL-E and Firefly. Five timed challenges Friday.
Style & Specificity
Style references, seeds, image-to-image, character consistency. Five-style sheet.
Motion & Sound
Runway. Pika / Luma / Kling. Suno music. ElevenLabs voice. 30-second AI music video.
Workflows & Showcase
AI + human polish. 3D via Meshy. Capstone portfolio. Day 20 AI Art Runway premiere.
What you'll drive.
The boot camp uses the actual industry-leading tools. Pricing verified May 2026.
Midjourney Standard
Recommended tier. 15 hrs Fast GPU + unlimited Relax. The boot camp default.
ChatGPT Plus (DALL-E 3)
Best for graphics with text. The thinking partner for prompt drafts.
Adobe Firefly · Leonardo
Free tiers good enough for first 1–2 weeks. Firefly bundles into CC.
Runway Pro
Recommended for class. 2,250 credits, commercial rights, more features.
Suno Pro
Pro tier required for commercial license. Generate themed music in seconds.
ElevenLabs
Custom voices for narration and characters. Free tier covers class scripts.
Studio subscription strategy
LAZRdojo holds studio Midjourney, Runway, Suno, and ElevenLabs subscriptions and runs the camp from a shared studio account during sessions. Students do not need to buy any of these to attend. If they want extra generations beyond class hours, they'll need their own full account. Recommended personal bundle: Midjourney Standard ($30) + ChatGPT Plus ($20) + Runway Pro ($28) + free tier music / voice / 3D — covers all 20 days comfortably with room to experiment at home.
The AI Art Runway.
Every student presents their capstone — image, video, or 3D — with a one-line artist statement that says HOW they used AI and WHERE the human direction shows. Honesty earns trust.
Digital Art
& Editing
The visual production stack behind a stream. Motion graphics, animated overlays, live multi-cam OBS production, highlight reels with color and music. Streamers and editors often pair up after this boot camp.
EnrollMake stream-ready content.
This is the production-side counterpart to the Streaming Boot Camp. Streamers focus on going live; editors focus on what's ON the screen and AROUND it — the animated logos, stinger transitions, lower thirds, live cuts, and highlight cuts.
Mograph 101
Keyframes, timing, easing, secondary motion. Day 5 logo reveal challenge.
Stream Graphics
Animated overlays, alerts, stinger transitions, lower thirds, BRB screens.
Live Production

Free or Adobe. Both work.
This boot camp has a clear free path (DaVinci Resolve + Fusion + Blender + OBS) and an industry-standard Adobe path. LAZRdojo runs on either, or mixes.
DaVinci + Fusion + OBS
Industry-grade free stack. DaVinci Resolve for editing and color, Fusion for mograph, Blender for 3D, OBS for live production. Covers the entire curriculum.
After Effects + Premiere
Industry standard. After Effects for mograph, Premiere for editing. CC Pro ($69.99/mo) bundles all apps + 4,000 Firefly credits.
What goes on a station.
PRO VR Streaming
Bundle
Four equipment tiers from a $590 first-person quick-start to a $8,100 three-station event setup. Built around the existing Ctrl V VR bays — covers everything ON TOP of the headsets and PCs already in place.

The bays you've got.
Ctrl V VR arcade stations are assumed to already include these — they're NOT in the buy list. If your bays differ from this assumption, see the doc's headset pricing section.

VR-Ready PC
RTX-class GPU, 32GB+ RAM. Runs SteamVR + LIV.

Add Tier C upgrade pieces later if a clear need shows up. Hold Tier D until there's a confirmed multi-streamer event scheduled.
