Park Slope wired last night with Brooklyn’s Tech Fair, sparking NYC’s spring at a 5th Avenue hall. Coder Lena Carter demoed apps as 300 gawked, a $10 ticket peek at gadgets. It’s borough bytes—pure BK vibe, screens hot. A kid tapped a bot; a pro tested VR. ‘Brooklyn builds—this is it,’ Carter says, tweaking code. The floor turned expo.
The fair’s fresh—April 1’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing booths by noon. Carter’s a Slope geek; last night’s crowd hit max—lights flashed. A latecomer nabbed a pass; demos buzzed—NYC grit glowed. Runs one day—tech ruled. #BKTechFair trended; Queens wants a chip.
Some griped—’Too loud,’ sniped a grump, dodging beeps. Power surged—fixed quick; gear held. A rival’s pitching a Greenpoint fair, splitting screens. Still, 400 stayed—bits reigned. Park Slope’s never booted so bold.
Carter’s teasing a hackathon, maybe a park if spring bites. ‘NYC’s grid—this powers it,’ she says, packing drives. The fair’s a Brooklyn win—grit meets tech. It’s a byte rush; catch the next. Bring a gadget—circuits call.
