Bronx’s Tech Talk Boots in Fordham

Fordham wired last night with the Bronx’s Tech Talk, sparking NYC’s spring at a University Avenue hall. Coder Mia Chen pitched VR as 150 listened, a $10 ticket dive into bits. It’s borough bytes—pure BX vibe, screens hot. A kid asked about headsets; a pro jotted specs. ‘Bronx thinks—this is it,’ Chen says, flipping slides. The room turned server.

The talk’s fresh—April 1’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing seats by 7 p.m. Chen’s a Mott Haven geek; last night’s crowd hit max—charts glowed. A latecomer nabbed a spot; Q&A buzzed—NYC grit shone. Demos teased—tech ruled. #BronxTechTalk trended; Queens wants a chip.

Some griped—’Too dense,’ sniped a newbie, dodging jargon. Lights flickered—fixed quick; facts held. A rival’s pitching a Soundview chat, splitting bits. Still, 200 stayed—code reigned. Fordham’s never booted so bold.

Chen’s teasing a workshop, maybe a hack if spring bites. ‘NYC’s grid—this powers it,’ she says, packing drives. The talk’s a Bronx win—grit meets tech. It’s a byte rush; join the next. Bring a laptop—lines call.
