Most kids only consume games, videos, and AI. x99Lives is the studio where they learn to make them — with the same tools working artists use, in a small room on Southern Blvd, with a mentor at the desk.
Every program on the homepage lives inside one of these tracks. Younger kids start with beginner tools and finished projects they can show off. Teens step into the full professional stack.
Foundational digital art, AI, and visual effects with beginner-friendly tools. Kids leave with a character, a short edit, a 3D print, or a playable world — not a worksheet. Classes are 90 minutes. Perfect if they love games and you want the screen time to turn into a skill.
The step up for teens who want their own game, their own short film, or a real content channel. Industry workflows in animation, 3D, VFX, and game development. Designed by Rob Eckert from Hollywood productions including Shang-Chi, The Suicide Squad, Don’t Look Up, and Love, Death & Robots.
Same six programs from the homepage — with what a parent should expect a kid to walk out holding.
Grok, Higgsfield AI, and Open Claw
Kids learn to direct the tools instead of just scrolling past them. They write prompts, revise, and finish original work.
CapCut, After Effects, and Premiere Pro
They animate an idea and cut it like a pro — titles, timing, sound, and a finished clip they can send to grandma.
Blender and Tinkercad
Build it on screen, then hold it. Kids model characters, props, and simple scenes, then print the ones that are ready.
Unreal Engine, Unreal Engine for Fortnite
The game they already play becomes the classroom. They design a level, a rule, and a reason to replay it.
Canva, Photoshop, and AI tools
Visual communication: logos, team identity, thumbnails, and social graphics that look intentional.
Streamlabs, OBS, CapCut, and Canva · Ages 13+
Streaming and content the way competitive players actually do it — setup, overlays, commentary, and a clip worth posting.
Small group. Mentor at the desk. Something finished before they leave.
No laptop required. Stations are ready. First day is a tour of the tool, not a lecture.
90 minutes on one project. A mentor walks the room. Kids help each other when they get stuck.
Every session aims at a file they can open at home: an image, a clip, a print, or a level.
Work stacks into a portfolio. Monthly students get a make-up class in the same month if they miss one.
Junior Dev classes are 90 minutes. Unlimited Saturday free play is included with a monthly plan.
Tuesday & Thursday digital design, 4pm–7pm. Wednesday esports coaching, 2pm–6pm. Camps, birthdays, and Parents Night Out are booked separately.
No. Junior Dev starts from zero. If they can use a mouse and they like games or drawing, they are ready. Senior Dev is for teens who want the harder tools.
They are making the thing, not watching it. A class ends with a file, a print, or a level. That is the difference parents notice after the first month.
Yes. Tours are free. Call or text 561-408-3717, or email info@x99lives.com. Studio is at 10113 Southern Blvd, Royal Palm Beach.
Weekly classes are the ongoing track. Camps, homeschool blocks, open play, and Parents Night Out sit next to it. Tell us the age and we will point you at the right door.
Ten minutes in the room tells you more than this page. Bring them. We’ll put them on a station.
