  64 I am inquiring about employment for the 5th - 8th Grade
  65 STEM Teacher position.
  66
  67 During the summer of 2016, I organized a summer camp at Livermore
  68 Highschool for students of migrant workers.  Erin and I taught 2 cohorts
  69 our challenge-bot robotics curriculum.  Students kept their robots, and
  70 since then, we have been running robotics demos at the Livermore
  71 Innovation Fair.
  72
  73 Since I am coming to professional education through
  74 a non-traditional route, I am not currently certificated.  However,
  75 I would certainly go through the process.  For the
  76 past 3.5 years, Gideon Hausner, a jewish day school for K-8 students
  77 has employed me.  During that time, I have built relationships with
  78 students, parents, teachers and faculty.
  79
  80 As a result, I have received many recommendation letters.  Hopefully
  81 these letters can get me into a teaching position that supports me
  82 while I pursue more traditional certification.
