Reinvigorating the Funhouse Commons Science Fair: Celebrating Young Minds and Earth Day with Prizes, Exhibits, and Community Participation

The Funhouse Commons is excited to host its 20th Science Fair on Saturday, April 27th from 12-4 p.m. This event, which first began in 2001, celebrates and inspires the incredible scientific discoveries made by young minds. After a four-year hiatus, the Science Fair has been revitalized and is ready to bring excitement back to the community.

All Orcas K-12 students are invited to register their projects, and community members with an interest in conservation and environmental science are also welcome to participate. If you would like to be a vendor or volunteer at the science fair, please contact Ryan@thefunhouse.org. The Science Fair will be themed around Earth Day and will feature free food and beverages, live music, community exhibits, and impressive creations from 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.

We are seeking support from the community to help us raise $5,000 to cover costs for food, beverages, awards, prizes, and supplies for this extraordinary event. Volunteers are also needed to assist with setup, activities
