Webdroid E-Sports & Technology will be a computer lab / gaming center opening soon in New Center Detroit aimed at engaging Metro-Detroit citizens in e-sports and tech adjacent fun!
Webdroid was founded by Joshua Ashford, a coding instructor, and web designer from Detroit who saw a need for more innovative spaces aimed at engaging youth, and helping to restore safe, walkable areas within Detroit.
We want to bring a series of e-sports labs to Detroit aimed at engaging youth across ages; from elementary, to high school, to college and beyond. Many incredible opportunities lie ahead for the young people who would benefit from this type of access to technology. Tangibles include scholarships, cash prizes for winning tournaments, brand sponsorships, and more.
Webdroid has recently piloted our curriculum and education platform within 3 of the Boys & Girls Clubs locations in Detroit and another within 180 Church on Detroit's westside. Webdroid has been hard at work proving that this kind of recreational fun has tangible benefits in the education realm, and we've been massively successful thanks to everyone whose supported the programming intiatives over the past five years.

Close your eyes and Imagine, that you are in Detroit, walking on the west side of the city to get some lunch. Its a warm sunny beautiful day in the city University district of Detroit, and you're just coming up on the local coney island that you love, when you see a new store that you've never noticed prior.
This new establishment has a large blue neon sign that reads "Webdroid: esports & technology" in a pixelated, slightly angled font that gives you the feeling of excitment that you haven't yet felt today. in lieu of the coney that you had your tastebuds fixed on, you decide to enter the new store, and what do you see?...
Computers and neon lights as far as you can see; and young people, from adolescence stages, through to young adulthood, communing in one area, all gaming, learning, and building community. Some are learning cloud computing, another young lady is learning graphic design, and others are gaming with their friends.
Detroit is growing, and many new & exciting changes will soon be upon the many residents of the city. As Detroit continues to grow, we need to ensure that the communities are built with young people in mind. Webdroid: Esports & Technology will meet the youth where the are, and house an inclusive community of tech-enthused youth in education and esports.
these titles and many more will be available at launch
