Reviving the Majesty: The 20th Science Fair Returns to Orcas Island

The Funhouse Science Fair Returns

The Funhouse Commons is excited to host the 20th Science Fair on Saturday, April 27th from 12-4 p.m. This event aims to celebrate and inspire young scientific minds who have made remarkable discoveries. After a four-year hiatus, this beloved tradition has been revitalized and is ready to bring excitement back to the community.

All Orcas K-12 students are encouraged to participate by registering their projects, and community members interested in conservation and environmental science are also welcome. If you would like to be a vendor or volunteer at the science fair, please contact Ryan@thefunhouse.org.

The theme of the Science Fair is Earth Day, and attendees can expect free food and beverages, live music, community exhibits, and most importantly, the impressive creations of our young participants. Every participant will receive an award, with top prizes being selected by our esteemed wandering wizards in elementary, middle, and high school categories.

The prestigious Richie Moore “Rocket Ship of Wonder” will be awarded to the top three best-in-show science projects. Prizes include $500 for 1st place in the high school category, $250 for 1st place in middle school, and $100 for 1st place in elementary school.

To make this extraordinary event successful, we need support from the community to cover costs for food, beverages, awards, prizes, and supplies. We are also looking for volunteers to assist with setup activities and cleanup during the event. Your tax-deductible donation or volunteer time is greatly appreciated and essential to bringing magic back to our community through this funhouse celebration!
