Some creative students from the CIS Student Association gathered and started a project that is out of the ordinary. They used colored push pins to create a Mario Bros panel, like in the famous video game. It is said that they used 17,000 push pins and that it took them two and a half semesters to finish it. The art piece is to be found in the Student Computing Center at the University of the Fraser Valley.

It is a different kind of decoration but it definitely brightens up any school, or type of classroom. It is also cool to have such projects at school because I bet it helps on the atmosphere and the social bonding too. Speaking of Super Mario, here you can see the real world adventures of the 8-bit character and his fellowship.
