Indianapolis / City as Living Laboratory (I/CaLL) is a city-wide civic collaboration engaging in cross-sector research that builds on prior research in informal science learning in public settings. It extends research in place-based and service learning traditions, and uses the city itself as an informal science learning (ISL) environment for Science and Engineering for Environmental Sustainability learning outcomes. This project is creating place-based science learning experiences as part of public spaces in Indianapolis and establishes the next generation of urban science museums that increase opportunities for learning. The project will develop a self-sustaining program for art/science collaborations as they inaugurate city-sanctioned changeable installations at I/CaLL sites. Data from the project will be used to inform ISL professionals at museums throughout the community and around the country. Thousands of volunteers and their families will help create I/CaLL spaces, engage with communities, and serve as research participants connecting with science learning through site development. The unprecedented scale of this project provides a full measure of informal science service learning at a city scale, offering data that can change how science learning is measured, how people from all walks of life develop science literacy as part of their social public experience, and embodying the concept of the city as a living science learning lab. Broader impacts include the development of the city as an informal science learning environment that will become a new standard for thinking about what cities as cultural units can become as we build a resilient Science and Engineering culture for Environmental Sustainability.

印第安纳波利斯/城市生活实验室（I/CALL）是一个全市范围的公民合作，从事跨部门的研究，建立在公共环境中的非正式科学学习的研究。 它扩展了基于地方和服务学习传统的研究，并将城市本身作为环境可持续性科学与工程学习成果的非正式科学学习（ISL）环境。该项目正在创造基于地方的科学学习体验，作为印第安纳波利斯公共空间的一部分，并建立下一代城市科学博物馆，增加学习机会。 该项目将为艺术/科学合作开发一个自我维持的计划，因为他们在I/CALL站点开创了城市认可的可变装置。 该项目的数据将用于通知整个社区和全国各地博物馆的ISL专业人员。成千上万的志愿者和他们的家人将帮助创建I/CALL空间，与社区互动，并作为研究参与者通过网站开发与科学学习联系起来。该项目的规模空前，提供了一个完整的衡量城市规模的非正式科学服务学习，提供数据，可以改变如何衡量科学学习，如何从各行各业的人发展科学素养作为他们的社会公共经验的一部分，并体现了城市作为一个生活科学学习实验室的概念。更广泛的影响包括城市作为一个非正式的科学学习环境的发展，这将成为一个新的标准，思考什么样的城市作为文化单位可以成为我们建立一个弹性的科学和工程文化的环境可持续性。
