\opening{Dear Sir or Madam,}
\closing{Sincerely,}
I am inquiring about employment for the 5th - 8th Grade
STEM Teacher position.
-During the summer of 2016, I organized a summer camp at Livermore
-Highschool for students of migrant workers. Erin and I taught 2 cohorts
-our challenge-bot robotics curriculum. Students kept their robots, and
-since then, we have been running robotics demos at the Livermore
-Innovation Fair.
+During the this 2019-2020 school year, I helped a student create
+a bike helmet notifier. The bike now beeps and flashes a light
+if the rider is not wearing the matching helmet. To accomplish
+this, we used an arduino on the bike and another on the helmet.
+They communicated via bluetooth. Under the seat, we added
+load cells to detect the presence of a person sitting. Inside
+the helmet, we used bend sensors to detect whether the helmet
+was on. I believe this demonstrates strong subject matter
+expertise and makes me a strong candidate for the position.
Since I am coming to professional education through
a non-traditional route, I am not currently certificated. However,
As a result, I have received many recommendation letters. Hopefully
these letters can get me into a teaching position that supports me
-while I pursue more traditional certification. Please let me know
-if you would like to review these letters.
