 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,
