The 16th Annual Funhouse Science Fair will be held on Saturday, March 26, starting at 12 p.m. at The Funhouse Commons. This free family event is open to the public and features gizmos and gadgets, marvels and wonders of the science world. There is truly something to interest all ages.

Learn from our featured guest, Scott Petersen, also known as the “Reptile Man” Scott will be bringing reptiles for a live presentation at the Funhouse Science Fair. Over one million children and adults have seen Scott in person in Washington’s elementary schools.

K-12 students from Orcas, and neighboring islands, have been working hard to perfect their projects. Wandering Wizards will be present to judge all the entries and cast votes for the Richie Moore Rocket Ship of Wonder award, which is presented annually to the “best of show” entry.

The Funhouse is awarding scholarships to the top three high school or middle school student entries. Everyone who enters receives a certificate and a science-related prize.

All sorts of amazing demonstrations and exhibits are on display throughout the Funhouse grounds by students and adult islanders. There are lots of surprises in store, so come check it out!
