The Funhouse Science Fair Returns

Get ready to experience the thrill of scientific discovery at our 20th Science Fair, taking place on Saturday, April 27th from 12-4 p.m. at the Funhouse Commons. This beloved tradition started in 2001 with the goal of celebrating and inspiring the amazing discoveries made by young scientific minds. After a four-year break, we are excited to announce its return, rejuvenated and ready to bring excitement back to our community.

All Orcas K-12 students are welcome to register their projects, and community members interested in presenting their work in conservation and environmental science are also encouraged to participate. If you’re interested in being a vendor or volunteering at the science fair, please contact Ryan@thefunhouse.org. Our Science Fair will feature an Earth Day theme, offering free food and drinks, live music, community displays, and outstanding projects from our young participants.

Every participant will receive an award, with the top three prizes in elementary, middle, and high school categories chosen by our esteemed wandering wizards. The prestigious Richie Moore “Rocket Ship of Wonder” will be awarded to the top three best-in-show science projects. The prize breakdown is as follows: High School: 1st place $500, 2nd place $350, 3rd place $250; Middle School: 1st place $250, 2nd place $150, 3rd place $100; Elementary: 1st place $100, 2nd place $75, 3rd place $50.

We need your help to make this event a success! We are seeking support from our community to raise $5,000 for food and drink supplies
