One of the main features of the Masque of Courtly Love in 2006 was the Medieval Science Fair. This was designed to be just like a modern science fair, except that it was taken back in time a few hundred years, and adults as well as kids could participate. Mistress Gwyneth was kind enough to serve as our Fair coordinator and head judge. One of the key aspects of the Fair was that one's science was permitted to be totally wrong, as long as it was wrong in a period way.

The Fair drew several entrants, not as many as we had hoped but enough to make it fun. One young lady presented research on how dragon by-products impact the local environment. Lady Fekete presented a design for a new kind of siege engine. Robert of Bristol offered theories "proving" the existence of various mythological creatures. Justin presented an essay and demonstration, as if to a natural science society, re-creating one of Galileo's gravity experiments.

There were also presentations of a general arts and sciences exhibit nature, which weren't entered in the Science Fair itself but were shown to the populace in the same room. Lady Rivka exhibited some extremely pretty and thoroughly-documented beads, and there was a detailed color map of Pennsic, drawn in a period-like style.
