Bronx’s Tech Fair Boots in Soundview

Soundview wired last night with the Bronx’s Tech Fair, sparking NYC’s spring at a Bruckner lot. Coder Mia Chen demoed apps as 300 gawked, a $10 ticket peek at gadgets. It’s borough bytes—pure BX vibe, screens hot. A kid tapped a bot; a pro tested VR. ‘Bronx builds—this is it,’ Chen says, tweaking code. The stalls turned expo.

The fair’s fresh—April 1’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing rows by noon. Chen’s a Mott Haven geek; last night’s crowd hit max—lights flashed. A latecomer nabbed a pass; buzz hummed—NYC grit glowed. Runs one day—tech ruled. #BronxTechFair trended; Queens wants a chip.

Some griped—’Too loud,’ sniped a grump, dodging beeps. Wind flicked—tents held; gear held. A rival’s pitching a Fordham hack, splitting screens. Still, 400 stayed—bits reigned. Soundview’s never booted so bold.

Chen’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a hackathon if spring bites. ‘NYC’s grid—this powers it,’ she says, packing drives. The fair’s a Bronx win—grit meets tech. It’s a byte rush; catch the next. Bring a gadget—circuits call.
