Robotics
Once again Headwaters Science Center hosts Beltrami County’s
First Lego League teams, utilizing the Lego Mindstormsplatform. This year we have more squads than ever, with
four (Division 1: grades 4, 5, and 6;Division 2: grades 7, 8,
and 9).
The Robotic teams meet Thursdays after school from
3:30-5:00 pm, culminating with the Northern Minnesota Regional
Tournament Saturday, Dec. 10, 2011 in Northhome, MN.
With hard work they can advance to the State Tournament and a trip
to the Twin Cities for the last Saturday in January 2012.
There is still room for a few more interested young robotic
engineers. If you are interested call James at 444-4472. For

Activities
Scout Leaders––are you interested in
bringing your troop to the Science Center for an outing? We have
group rates for the exhibit floor and we have programs and
activities geared to fulfilling badge requirements. Topics
available include stars and sky, weather, senses, animals and,
of course, science!
Always a big hit with guests, the
snakes at HSC are fed every other Saturday at 3:00 pm.
You are invited to observe this informative demonstration and learn
about these interesting, but often maligned animals.
Why are they fed only every other
week? What do they eat? How are snakes adapted allowing them to
swallow food that just seems too big?
Please check the
calendar to see the Saturdays scheduled for feeding the snakes
and all other activities.
Starlab
This is a portable planetarium where people observe the night sky at any
time of the day! Learn about stars, constellations and planets and how
they appear in the night sky on any day and hour of the year. With
starlab, up to 20 star-gazers can study subjects ranging from
constellations of different cultures, the positions and motions of
planets, telling time with the stars, navigating by the sky, cycles of
the sun and moon, the reason for seasons and other facets of astronomy.
