Staten Island’s Tech Night Boots in Tottenville

Tottenville wired last night with Staten Island’s Tech Night, sparking NYC’s spring at a rec bar. Coder Lena Carter 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 AI. ‘Staten builds—this is it,’ Carter says, tweaking code. The room turned expo.

The night’s fresh—March 25’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing stools by 7 p.m. Carter’s a St. George geek; last night’s crowd hit max—lights flashed. A latecomer nabbed a spot; buzz hummed—NYC grit glowed. Runs one night—tech ruled. #SITech trended; Bronx wants a chip.

Some griped—’Too loud,’ sniped a grump, dodging beeps. Space pinched—latecomers stood; gear held. A rival’s pitching a Midland hack, splitting screens. Still, 300 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 night’s a Staten win—grit meets tech. It’s a byte rush; catch the next. Bring a gadget—circuits call.
