Somnium Space announced that applications for Season 2 of the Somnium Space Academy are now officially open! This structured, hands-on creator program returns with even more opportunities to level up your skills in the immersive world of Somnium Space.
Somnium Space, the persistent, open social VR metaverse where users own, create, explore, and monetize virtual experiences, complete with full C# scripting capabilities and tools for building anything from chill hangouts to full-fledged games, continues to empower its community through education and collaboration. Following the success of the inaugural season, the Academy is back to nurture the next wave of builders.
Program Details
The Somnium Space Academy Season 2 is an 8-week intensive learning journey starting on March 1, 2026. Participants can expect:
- 32 hands-on modules
- Approximately 48 hours of guided learning
- A strong emphasis on practical application over pure theory
Each module is led by experienced Somnium creators who bring real-world expertise to the table. The curriculum covers essential tools and techniques for producing high-quality, optimized content in the platform:
- Unity setup
- Blender modeling
- Lighting
- Scripting (C#)
- Interactions & gameplay logic
- Optimization
- Shaders
- Audio systems
- Networking
This isn’t a passive course. It’s built around active creation. Students will work on real projects, develop solid production workflows, and master the process of publishing interactive worlds, assets, wearables, and experiences directly in Somnium Space.
What Participants Gain…and Give
The program is completely free, but it demands genuine commitment. In exchange for expert guidance, feedback, and collaboration, participants are expected to stay consistent, meet deadlines, and actively create content for the Somnium ecosystem.
Successful completers who finish the full program receive a $100 completion reward, a small but meaningful token of appreciation for their dedication.
This is framed as a true exchange: the Somnium team and instructors invest in your growth, and in return, you contribute fresh, functional creations to the metaverse.
Who Should Apply?
No prior expert-level experience is required. The Academy welcomes creators at all stages, as long as you bring:
- Motivation
- Consistency
- Willingness to learn
Classes and all communication are conducted in English, so proficiency in the language is essential.
The application process focuses on getting to know you as a creator (your background, drive, and availability), rather than demanding a polished portfolio.
How to Apply
Ready to dive in? Submit your application through the official form:
The form gathers details on your creator identity, motivation, time zone, weekly availability, current tools and skill level, online presence (portfolio links, socials), and long-term goals in Somnium Space. It also confirms your comfort with the program’s framework of learning, feedback, collaboration, and deadlines.
Spots are likely competitive, so don’t delay. Applications are open now, with the program kicking off in just a few weeks on March 1.
Whether you’re a beginner eager to model your first Blender asset or an intermediate creator looking to master C# interactions and optimization, this is your chance to build alongside a motivated group and contribute to the evolving Somnium metaverse.
Share this with any creators in your network who might thrive in this environment. The future of Somnium Space is being shaped by its builders. Could you be one of them?
