Science stirs the imagination. It opens minds to
new and exciting frontiers, from ridiculously tiny things in an atom
to the mind-boggling hugeness of the Universe. Sometimes it takes a
spark to ignite a sleepy imagination to undertake the discovery of
things yet to be found, and to understand the complexities of our
World.
Headwaters Science Center often provides this
spark, offering a unique opportunity for young and old to begin this
journey of discovery. Over 40 “hands-on” exhibits, a collection of
live animals ready to reveal their innermost secrets, group
demonstrations that are fun and educational covering 15 science topics
presented by knowledgeable staff
, and many special activities and
programs - all combine for an exciting and rewarding experience at
HSC.
 Here the often-asked question, “can I touch
it?”, is almost always answered with a resounding, “yes”, because
Science You Can Touch is the underlying theme of HSC.
