-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.
+I believe I will be able to maintain a computer laboratory since I

 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.
