Blast-off to the 20th Science Fair on Earth Day: The Funhouse Commons’ Revival of a Beloved Community Tradition

The Funhouse Commons is excited to host the 20th Science Fair on Saturday, April 27th from 12-4 p.m. After a four-year hiatus, this beloved tradition is returning, revitalized and ready to bring excitement back to the community.

This event first began in 2001 with the goal of celebrating and inspiring the amazing discoveries made by young scientific minds. All Orcas K-12 students are encouraged to register their projects, and community members who have an interest in conservation and environmental science are also invited to participate.

If you would like to be a vendor or volunteer at the science fair, please contact Ryan@thefunhouse.org. Our Science Fair, themed around Earth Day, will feature free food and beverages, live music, community exhibits, and most importantly, the impressive creations of our 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 looking for support from the community to help us raise $5,000 to cover costs for food
