Staten Island’s Tech Fair Boots in Tottenville

Tottenville wired last night with Staten Island’s Tech Fair, sparking NYC’s spring at a rec lot. Coder Lena Carter demoed drones as 300 gawked, a $10 ticket peek at circuits. It’s borough bytes—pure SI vibe, screens hot. A kid flew a quad; a pro tested AI. ‘Staten builds—this is it,’ Carter says, tweaking code. The stalls turned expo.

The fair’s fresh—March 29’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing rows by noon. Carter’s a St. George geek; last night’s crowd hit max—lights flashed. A latecomer nabbed a pass; buzz hummed—NYC grit glowed. Runs one day—tech ruled. #SITechFair trended; Bronx wants a chip.

Some griped—’Too loud,’ sniped a grump, dodging beeps. Wind flicked—tents held; gear held. A rival’s pitching a Midland hack, splitting screens. Still, 400 stayed—bits reigned. Tottenville’s never booted so bold.

Carter’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a hackathon 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.
