Giving Tuesday

We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for getting deals. Now we have Giving Tuesday™, the giving season’s opening day.

Today, Tuesday November 27, 2012 charities, families, businesses and individuals are coming together to transform the way people think about, talk about and participate in the giving season.

It’s a simple idea. Find a way for your family, your community, your company or your organization to join in acts of giving. Join the national celebration of our great tradition of generosity.

Please visit Headwaters Science Center's giving page and click on the "Donate Now" button. Here you can make a safe and secure on-line donation - and help HSC to achieve its awesome mission to make science education fun and meaningful to the kids of northern Minnesota.

. . .or you can do it right here and now!

Every Third Wednesday Is Special at HSC

Every third Wednesday something special happens at Headwaters Science Center. On this day a miniature horse, called a therapy horse, comes to visit the Tots-n-Science group from 10:00-11:00 am. Therapy horses are exceedingly social animals and seem to love the attention bestowed upon them by young people. Needless to say the kids are enthralled to have a real horse in the same room with them.

Headwaters Science Center offers programs for children ages 3-6 on each Wednesday. Bring your child to these programs for stories, hands on activities, and games to help children learn about things going on in their environment. Come and touch the science!

•  Adults must accompany children.
•  Pre-register by the day before the program. Call (218) 444-4472 to register.
• Program times: 10:00-11:00 AM each Wednesday.

 The cost is only $4 per child (exhibit floor not included). Adults are free and must accompany children. Pre-registration by the day before is recommended, or a program could be cancelled for lack of tots.
