A software and technology company honored a Manhattan Catholic Schools science teacher with a national award for a class engineering effort involving robotics and soil moisture.
Tyson Vrbas, a teacher in the school’s Science, Technology, Reading/Religion, Engineering, Arts and Math (STREAM) program, won the Vernier Engineering Award for his class’ work on an automatic watering system for the school garden. Students in Vrbas’ class utilized sensors from the software and technology company to create a watering system attached to a rain barrel.
