School is out and families will come from far and wide to participate in summer programs, a huge picnic in the street called Playful Elements - the last in a series of fundraisers - and hands-on science fun all summer long.
Please join us. |

Behind the Logo
 Did you ever wonder what the Headwaters Science Center's logo represents?
The main image is the North Star. Seen only in the northern hemisphere, it depicts a sense of direction and importance. All other stars revolve around it; only the North Star appears to stay put – forever.
A water drop is in the center. Water is a requirement for life and a basic theme of Headwaters Science Center. The water drop is divided into three parts depicting the major watersheds within the HSC service area: Upper Mississippi, Rainy River and Red River. The term headwaters is part of the HSC name, showing its important location in the Upper Mississippi Watershed.
The logo was designed by Triad Marketing and Advertising of Nisswa, MN in 1993 under the direction of Jim and Laddie Elwell.
