+I am inquiring about employment for the Computer Specialist
+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.
+I believe I will be able to maintain a computer laboratory since I
+have previously maintained the makerspace at Gideon Hausner. In
+addition, I have taught students and teachers how to use the
+technology within the makerspace.

+to my teaching career. As a teacher at Hausner, I helped students with
+their science fair projects. This involved assessing what each
+student is capable of and finding what motivates them. In the letters

+students on my ability to identify these things and create
+learning experiences that they have taken with them.

+I am currently finding my way through the process. For the
past 3.5 years, Gideon Hausner, a jewish day school for K-8 students
has employed me. During that time, I have built relationships with
students, parents, teachers and faculty.
