Washington State University Vancouver students will soon transform a local art installation into an interactive educational experience, bridging the gap between art, technology and language at the Woodland Community Library . Suspended above the children’s room in the Woodland Community Library is “Phonic Bloom,” an art installation created by Portland-based studio Superfab. This piece repurposed recycled books into a vibrant hanging garden, visually symbolizing the sounds of the International Phonetic Alphabet. Each color-coded bloom represents syllables common to local languages: red for English, yellow for Spanish and blue for Salish — the language spoken by the Cowlitz Tribe for thousands of years. The installation was developed in collaboration with Portland State University linguist Janet Tom Cowell, who worked with Superfab to highlight the shared phonetic elements across these languages. Washington State University Vancouver student and experience team lead James Lesperance showcases a prototype for an app designed to bring an art installation to life through augmented reality during a presentation at WSU Vancouver on Wednesday, Dec. 11. The app allows visitors to interact with an art piece called “Phonic Bloom” at the Woodland library, providing a deeper understanding of phonics in multiple languages. This “data sculpture,” as WSU professor and Digital Technology and Culture lead Dene Grigar explained, presented a special opportunity for her students — developing an augmented reality mobile app to teach visitors about phonics using the installation. Augmented reality uses technology to blend digital content with the real world. The WSU students' app brings “Phonic Bloom” to life similar to the popular mobile app “Pokémon Go.” Visitors can point their phones at the sculpture to see a digital recreation of the garden appear on their screens. Guided by “Bea,” a friendly bee mascot voiced by design team member Bea Calces, users can interact with virtual blooms to learn about the corresponding phonetic sounds. The app features audio and visual representations, including animations of the human vocal system producing sounds like “la” and “shaw.” Mailei Brodniak, the student project manager, described their mission as developing and promoting a mobile app to educate young audiences about phonics. The task came with a steep learning curve, as the team first had to familiarize themselves with the intricacies of phonics before beginning. The students had 16 weeks — one semester — to complete their work. “We had the job of taking that sculpture and then bringing it down to our level and making it so that people from children to families could interact with it and actually understand what it’s saying,” Brodniak said Each year, Digital Technology and Culture students are tasked with a 16-week project using their skillsets to showcase their work on resumes or portfolios. The students learn a variety of skills ranging from videography to game design, choosing one category to be their “superpower.” Their main chosen skill is their focus for the senior project, giving students a chance to add to their portfolio before graduation. “The senior seminar is like a finishing school slash boot camp ... getting them to polish themselves, refine their skills and begin to feel confident so they can have a successful interview. It’s about turning out successful thinkers, makers and doers,” Grigar said. The senior seminar split its 18 students into four teams: • A design team, which conceptualized the app’s appearance and functionality • An experience team, which developed the app, implementing its interactive features • A web development team, which created a complementary website detailing the project’s history and features. • A social media team, which promoted the project across social media The design and experience teams crafted 15 unique 3D models, 26 animations and 20 audio components, supported by over 2,000 lines of code for the project. Student Evan Leyden took on the intricate task of animating a realistic depiction of human vocal anatomy for the app. “I spent over 12 hours just researching the kinematics of how we actually move everything inside our mouth to make sure that the animation was accurate, as well as looking for just the right [animation] plug-in [so] this [Magnetic Resonance Imaging] has fully articulated lips, tongue, velum, jaw and larynx,” Leyden said. The web development team supplemented the app with an interactive website, featuring an interactive phonetic chart and resources about the installation. Meanwhile, the social media team chronicled the project’s development across Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn, garnering over 200,000 views and 2,000 engagements. In a Dec. 11 presentation at WSU Vancouver, students demonstrated the fully functional mobile app as attendees watched the interactive experience. Brodniak emphasized the teamwork that was key to the project’s success. “The thing I’m most proud of is how everyone just came together. Everyone communicated so well, and everyone was so friendly with each other. There’s a lot of unity, which you would hope for since we’re making a project about community, but we were able to foster one,” She said. As part of their coursework, each student incorporated their contributions into their resumés and portfolios, participating in mock interviews with local employers. Brodniak, who also worked on the social media team, plans to pursue roles in social media or project management. “This experience gave me a lot of confidence in being a project manager, so I wouldn’t be opposed to working in the management side of things either,” she added. “There is so much here that we created and that we can bring with us moving forward into the career space.” The Phonic Bloom app will launch by the end of 2024. Readers can download the app and learn more about the project at dtc-wsuv.org/projects/phonic-bloom/index.html . The Phonic Bloom art piece can be found at the Woodland Community Library, which is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday at 411 Lakeshore Dr. Get our local education coverage delivered directly to your inbox.When the snow is falling and hot chocolate is piping, few activities are more refreshing and relaxing than plopping down on the couch and turning on the television. Some will watch live Christmas events from Rockefeller Center, while others will tune into a bowl game. But if you’re of a certain age, you clearly remember the excitement when Nickelodeon began to roll out its litany of timeless Christmas specials. From Kenan & Kel in the 1990s to Danny Phantom in the late 2000s, Nickelodeon has entered the pantheon of networks that have consistently rolled out classic holiday specials. While Nickelodeon’s legacy is cemented, the ranking of its best holiday season episodes is and will always be hotly contested. Not to start a debate at the holiday dinner table, but here are the 10 best classic Nickelodeon holiday specials. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content.

Callander’s Bill Barber rink is open to skaters but use at your risk. So cautioned the municipality as warm weather is expected to roll into the region this week. You can still use the rink, just be mindful of the quality of ice. Municipal staff noted, “Given the warmer weather expected in the coming days, it will not be possible to flood the ice.” Therefore, expect all the grooves and chips to remain, and for the ice surface to diminish over the next few days. If condition worsen, the town will close the rink. Safety first. However, the lights will stay on from 4 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., so you can still get your evening skate on. Last year, the rink didn’t open at all during the Christmas break due to the warm weather. Skaters had to wait until January 10th to hit the ice. See: Callander’s Bill Barber rink set to open next week Keep an eye on the municipality’s website and social media page for updates. The Bill Barber rink is located behind Callander’s Community Centre on 1984 Swale Street.

CEDAR FALLS — Two teams with dream seasons clashed in the Class 4A State Football Championship game on Thursday night at the UNI-Dome. For Pella, it was a chance to grab a fourth and final state title for their legendary head coach Jay McKinstrey who would be coaching in his final game before retiring after the final whistle. For North Polk, they came in as the last standing undefeated team in 4A and were seeking their first-ever state title. The latter would leave the night celebrating as the Comets would end up coming away with a 24-14 victory. There was an energy in the building as play got underway with both defenses came up with stops on their opening possessions before Pella’s Tyson Barnes would pin North Polk with a great punt going out of bounds at the two yard line. The Comets then began to establish what would be a dominate night at the line of scrimmage. North Polk would go 15-plays and 98 yards over eight minutes with quarterback Nathan Feldmann scrambling right before lowering his shoulder and powering in for a 13-yard TD to start the scoring at 7-0 early in the second quarter. Pella would look for an answer and would get into North Polk territory before stalling out and turning it over on downs. North Polk got to work again on offense with their dynamic backfield duo of Feldmann and running back BJ Tate running behind their big offensive line. The Comets would milk the clock and would be faced with a fourth and one at the Pella five yard line late in the half. The Dutch defense has come big in those moments several times this year but were unable to get the stop as Feldmann called his own number and powered into the endzone for a five-yard TD to push the lead to 14-0 at the half. The good news for Pella was they got the ball to start the second half and would have a chance to make it a one-score game again. The big-play Dutch would strike in just three plays as QB Colin Kerndt found Harrison Mullens on a deep post over the middle with Mullens out-running everyone on his way to an 89-yard touchdown to cut the deficit in half at 14-7. North Polk took the ensuing kickoff back to midfield to set up good starting position for them. They would get to work on the ground again and would punch it in just five plays later with Feldmann tallying his third rushing TD of the night. This one was from five yards out and made it 21-7 late in the third quarter. The Dutch needed to answer back again but would stall out in North Polk territory again, turning it over on downs. The Comets took over with a chance to put a dagger in Pella’s title hopes but the relentless Dutch defense would show up with Bailey Shetterly jumping the passing lane on a screen throw by Feldmann with Shetterly racing the other way for a 39-yard pick-six to all of sudden make it one score game again at 21-14 heading to the fourth quarter. “Our guys have found ways to win this year and I appreciate them so much,” Pella head coach Jay McKinstrey said. “They are a group of kids that are an enjoyable group to be around, that are never going to quit and they are going to play to the very end, win or lose.” Just like they did on their first scoring drive, the North Polk offense would embark on a long, time consuming drive that would see them get to the Pella two yard line. But instead of going for it on fourth down, North Polk would attempt a short 21-yard field goal and put it through to cap off their 14-play, 81 yard drive over eight minutes to make it a two score game again 24-14 with just under nine minutes to go. The pressure turned back to Pella as they needed to score quick and get the ball back again. Kerndt and Emmanuel Diers got a couple of good runs to get near midfield but would face another fourth down. Kerndt would escape a sack before unleashing a deep ball up for grabs into traffic where North Polk’s Brady Cathcart would haul it down for an interception. Time was not on the side of the Dutch as they needed to get a stop quick but the North Polk running game continued to cash in first down after first down before running out the clock and claiming their first state title in program history with a 24-14 win. While the celebrations happened on one side of the field, tears and frustration settled in for the green and white as they would fall one game shy of a fourth state title under McKinstrey. The recent trends for North Polk continued as they rushed for over 300 yards for the fourth time in their last five games and held their opponent to 14 points or less and 250 total yards or less for a sixth straight game. Feldmann finished with 149 total yards and three TDs while Tate had 31 carries for 152 yards. For Pella, Kerndt was 10-of-17 passing for 132 yards with one TD and one interception. Outside of the TD pass to Mullens, Pella’s offense was held to 110 yards on 36 plays. Thursday marked the final game for McKinstrey in his Hall of Fame career leading the Dutch. The long-time head coach was grateful to be able to finish his career with a chance to play for a fourth state title in his sixth finals appearance. "How many times do you actually get to win the state championship or even play in this game,” McKinstrey said. “Very few programs get to be here every year. I'm grateful I got to be in here at least once and we got to be here six times playing for the title. I'm so grateful for that and and hopefully that these young men and all the kids we've coached in the past can look back fondly, remember the relationships, remember some things that they've learned from our football program. We’re a pseudo family during the year and that's what I'll miss when it's all said and done here. I'll just miss the players, the coaches and the opportunity to belong to something.” Pella finishes the season with an 11-2 record.
