Science In Vivo
& 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 (referenced in the video) for Science In Vivo to explore this foundational work in Situated Engagement.
In 2024 and 2025, we brought together 3 cohorts to explore integrating science in monthly calls led by experienced Science In Vivo coaches featured in previous projects. We are currently revamping our website to share these recent, ongoing, and future Science In Vivo initiatives so check back in 2026!
The project is currently bringing together cohorts of teams exploring the use of Situated Engagement with their own local action in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Please contact us for more information if you are interested.
