Reuniting at the Science Fair: The Return of Orcas Island’s Beloved Tradition

The Funhouse Science Fair Returns

Exciting news! The Funhouse Commons is set to host its 20th Science Fair on Saturday, April 27th from 12-4 PM. This beloved event, which has been a tradition since 2001, showcases the innovative discoveries made by young scientists. After a four-year hiatus, the Science Fair is back with renewed energy and passion to engage the community.

All Orcas K-12 students are invited to register their projects for the Science Fair. In addition, community members who want to showcase their work in conservation and environmental science are also welcome to participate. If you’re interested in being a vendor or volunteer at the fair, please reach out to Ryan@thefunhouse.org.

This year’s Science Fair will have an Earth Day theme and will feature free food and drinks, live music, community exhibits, and inspiring projects from our young participants. Every participant will receive an award, with top prizes being awarded in elementary, middle, and high school categories. The coveted Richie Moore “Rocket Ship of Wonder” will be presented to the best-in-show projects.

The organizers are aiming to raise $5,000 to cover the costs of food, beverages, awards, prizes, and supplies for the event. They also need volunteers to help with setup, activities, and cleanup. Your tax-deductible donation and volunteer time are crucial in making this event a success. Let’s come together as a community to make this Science Fair a magical experience for everyone involved! Remember: it takes both a village and the Funhouse to create something truly special!
