Science In Vivo and Situated Engagement
The Science In Vivo project supports teams across the U.S. as they find new ways to add science experiences into existing events and community gatherings. The project asks teams to go beyond business-as-usual by integrating these experiences into the cultural context and social setting of local celebrations. This active participation is called Situated Engagement.
From 2017 to 2020, the project involved in-depth experimentation, with observers traveling to see teams in action and provide constructive critiques. Please visit the original, media-rich website for Science In Vivo to explore this foundational work in Situated Engagement.
The project is currently bringing together cohorts of teams exploring the use of Situated Engagement with their own local action. Find out more about these current initiatives below.
