Queens’ Tech Fair Boots in Corona

Corona wired last night with Queens’ Tech Fair, sparking NYC’s spring at a park hall. Coder Tariq Evans demoed apps as 300 gawked, a $10 ticket peek at gadgets. It’s borough bytes—pure Queens vibe, screens hot. A kid tapped a bot; a pro tested AI. ‘Queens builds—this is it,’ Evans says, tweaking code. The floor turned expo.

The fair’s fresh—April 4’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing booths by noon. Evans, a Flushing geek; last night’s crowd hit max—lights flashed. A latecomer nabbed a pass; demos buzzed—NYC grit glowed. Runs one day—tech ruled. #QueensTechFair trended; Brooklyn wants a chip.

Some griped—’Too loud,’ sniped a grump, dodging beeps. Power surged—fixed quick; gear held. A rival’s pitching a LIC fair, splitting screens. Still, 400 stayed—bits reigned. Corona’s never booted so bold.

Evans hints at a hackathon, maybe a park if spring bites. ‘NYC’s grid—this powers it,’ he says, packing drives. The fair’s a Queens win—grit meets tech. It’s a byte rush; catch the next. Bring a gadget—circuits call.
