Staten Island’s Tech Fair Boots in St. George

St. George wired last night with Staten Island’s Tech Fair, sparking NYC’s spring near the ferry. Coder Mia Chen demoed apps as 200 gawked, a $10 ticket peek at gadgets. It’s borough bytes—pure SI vibe, screens hot. A kid tapped a drone; a pro tested VR. ‘Staten builds—this is it,’ Chen says, tweaking code. The lot turned expo.

The fair’s fresh—April 4’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing booths by noon. Chen’s a Tottenville geek; last night’s crowd hit max—lights blinked. A latecomer nabbed a pass; demos buzzed—NYC grit glowed. Runs one day—tech ruled. #SITechFair trended; Bronx wants a chip.

Some griped—’Too loud,’ sniped a grump, dodging beeps. Power flickered—fixed fast; gear held. A rival’s pitching a Midland fair, splitting screens. Still, 300 stayed—bits reigned. St. George’s never booted so bold.

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