Mission Statement:
Headwaters Science Center's mission is to provide intellectual stimulation and enjoyment for all children and adults in its northern Minnesota service area with scientific and technological interactive displays, exhibits, and  programs currently unavailable in the region. The center will work with northern school representatives to assure that exhibits and programs will enhance and supplement formal educational offerings.

The Center will strive to attain and maintain high standards for its demonstrations and programs, thereby providing educational experiences for those who reside in its service area as well as for seasonal visitors and  tourists.
