Brooklyn’s Tech Workshop Boots in Park Slope

Park Slope wired last night with Brooklyn’s Tech Workshop, sparking NYC’s spring at a 5th Avenue loft. Coder Lena Carter taught Arduino as 40 hacked, a $20 class for gear kids. It’s borough bytes—pure BK vibe, screens hot. A kid blinked an LED; a pro coded a bot. ‘Brooklyn builds—this is it,’ Carter says, soldering wires. The room turned lab.

The shop’s fresh—April 1’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing desks by 6 p.m. Carter’s a Slope techie; last night’s crowd hit max—lights flashed. A latecomer nabbed a kit; sparks buzzed—NYC grit glowed. Projects hit the table—tech ruled. #BKTechShop trended; Queens wants a chip.

Some griped—’Too tricky,’ sniped a newbie, dodging code. Space pinched—latecomers stood; builds held. A wire fried—fixed quick; work rolled. Staten wants a turn, but Park Slope owns it—bits rule. The loft’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 tools. The shop’s a Brooklyn win—grit meets tech. It’s a byte rush; join the next. Bring a board—circuits call.
