Ciência na Nuvem and VigIA: digital products for citizen science

Two products developed with GF Corp for Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ): a gamified platform where classes publish science experiments, and a web app where anyone can log observations in aquatic environments for biologists to analyze. Here MeSoCom works as a digital studio, from design to interface.

The challenge

Educational and scientific products are usually born with a form-like interface. The challenge was a platform students would want to use and an app lay people could use on the beach, phone in hand.

In Ciência na Nuvem, the "Science Room" organizes each practice into materials, procedure, result and video, with author profiles. In VigIA the flow is "Explore, photograph, learn": a geolocated observation, a photo, a short questionnaire and an answer from a biologist.

What we delivered

  • Ciência na NuvemWeb platform with login, experiment feed, post page, author profile, beta sign-up and family and privacy policies.
  • VigIAWeb app with sign-up, observation logging with photo and geolocation, forum and an institutional page with team and sponsors.
  • An identity for each productCiência na Nuvem with a serif face and neon green on white; VigIA with a split layout, mangrove photo and fish mascot.
  • RecognitionCiência na Nuvem recognized by InovUERJ and accelerated by Sai do Papel; VigIA with six PhD professors and four partner initiatives.
