Brooklyn’s Tech Workshop Boots in Williamsburg

Williamsburg wired last night with Brooklyn’s Tech Workshop, building NYC’s spring at a Kent loft. Coder Tariq Evans taught Arduino as 40 hacked, a $20 class for gear heads. It’s borough bytes—pure BK vibe, screens hot. A kid blinked an LED; a pro coded a bot. ‘Brooklyn builds—this is it,’ Evans says, soldering wires. The room turned lab.

The shop’s fresh—April 4’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing desks by 6 p.m. Evans, a Bushwick 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 Williamsburg owns it—bits rule. The loft’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 tools. The shop’s a Brooklyn win—grit meets tech. It’s a byte rush; join the next. Bring a board—circuits call.
