Although he doesnt have any previous formal teaching experience, being between jobs, Fredi Cameron George Lopez interviews for a vacant substitute teacher position at Carl Hayden High School. The principal Jamie Lee Curtis questions his job stability record, but eventually hires Cameron because of his Ph.D. and engineer credentials. After the interview, while in the schools parking lot, Lorenzo Santillan overrides Camerons car temperature safety sensor for 20, so he can avoid a more costly repair job.As part of his normal teaching responsibilities, Cameron is assigned to oversee an engineering club, where he meets Vazquez who is looking for help to build a remotely operated underwater robot for the UCSD robotics competition. Cameron grudgingly accepts to help, even though he doesnt feel he is going to remain at the school for long. ........
