  64 I am inquiring about employment for the 5th - 8th Grade
  65 STEM Teacher position.
  66
  67 During the this 2019-2020 school year, I helped a student create
  68 a bike helmet notifier.  The bike now beeps and flashes a light
  69 if the rider is not wearing the matching helmet.  To accomplish
  70 this, we used an arduino on the bike and another on the helmet.
  71 They communicated via bluetooth.  Under the seat, we added
  72 load cells to detect the presence of a person sitting.  Inside
  73 the helmet, we used bend sensors to detect whether the helmet
  74 was on.  I believe this demonstrates strong subject matter
  75 expertise and makes me a strong candidate for the position.
  76
  77 Since I am coming to professional education through
  78 a non-traditional route, I am not currently certificated.  However,
  79 I would certainly go through the process.  For the
  80 past 3.5 years, Gideon Hausner, a jewish day school for K-8 students
  81 has employed me.  During that time, I have built relationships with
  82 students, parents, teachers and faculty.
  83
  84 As a result, I have received many recommendation letters.  Hopefully
  85 these letters can get me into a teaching position that supports me
  86 while I pursue more traditional certification.
