Science Fair Returns to Orcas Island: Celebrating Young Minds with Earth Day Theme and Prizes

On Saturday, April 27th from 12-4 p.m., the Funhouse Commons is hosting its 20th Science Fair. This event, which began in 2001, aims to celebrate and inspire the remarkable scientific discoveries made by young minds. After a four-year hiatus, we are excited to bring this cherished tradition back to our community, rejuvenated and ready to once again bring excitement and wonder.

All Orcas K-12 students are welcome to register their projects, and community members are also invited to present their work in conservation and environmental science. If you’re interested in being a vendor or volunteering at the science fair, please contact Ryan@thefunhouse.org. This year’s Science Fair will have an Earth Day theme and will offer free food and drinks, live music, community displays, and of course, the fantastic 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 Richie Moore “Rocket Ship of Wonder” will be awarded to the top three best-in-show science projects. The breakdown of prizes 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
