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 Lena Carter demoed gadgets as 300 gawked, a $10 ticket peek at circuits. It’s borough bytes—pure SI vibe, screens hot. A kid tapped a bot; a pro tested VR. ‘Staten builds—this is it,’ Carter says, tweaking code. The lot turned expo.

The fair’s fresh—March 25’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing booths by noon. Carter’s a Tottenville geek; last night’s crowd hit max—lights flashed. 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 surged—fixed quick; gear held. A rival’s pitching a Midland fair, splitting screens. Still, 400 stayed—bits reigned. St. George’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 Staten win—grit meets tech. It’s a byte rush; catch the next. Bring a gadget—circuits call.
