Sparking Curiosity: The Return of the Science Fair on April 27th!

Join us for our 20th Science Fair on Saturday, April 27th at the Funhouse Commons from 12-4 PM! This beloved tradition, which began in 2001, celebrates and inspires the scientific discoveries made by young minds. After a four-year hiatus, we are thrilled to bring it back with new energy and excitement.

We invite all Orcas K-12 students to register their projects for the fair. We also welcome community members who are passionate about conservation and environmental science to share their work as vendors or volunteers. If you’re interested in participating, please contact Ryan@thefunhouse.org.

The Science Fair will feature an Earth Day theme and will be packed with free food and beverages, live music, community exhibits, and the impressive displays from our young participants. Each participant will receive an award, with the top three projects in elementary, middle, and high school categories selected by our esteemed judges. The coveted Richie Moore “Rocket Ship of Wonder” will be awarded to the best-in-show projects.

Prizes for the competition include $500 for first place in high school, $350 for second place in high school, $250 for first place in middle school, $150 for second place in middle school, $100 for first place in elementary school, $75 for second place in elementary school, and $50 for third place in elementary school.

We need your support to make this event a success! We’re seeking community donations of $5,000 to cover costs such as food and drinks
