Set off on an adventure to learn about climate change 

“When Joule Watts-Green steps into her mom’s mysterious machine, she’s swept off to a polluted city of tides. Streets are rivers, “tin-skins” shoot lightning, and everyone eats gooey Algae-Os.  To get home, Joule must be brave, clever, and make friends. She may even discover how to save the world — with your help.”

The Midnight Rebellion is an interactive podcast from WBUR, Boston’s award-winning NPR station (all released episodes available here). As a “choose your own audio adventure”, each chapter ends by asking listeners to make a decision that will determine the outcome of the story. The fictional journey is informed by climate models and environmental studies — and it’s also packed with humor and action. With 82 different paths across 26 audio-rich episodes, it not only builds excitement for the story, but also parallels how our actions can impact the environment. 

As the rollicking story unfolds in a flooded future, learners can deepen their understanding of real-world climate challenges with ready-made kahoots that make this topic engaging and accessible. Explore climate change causes, effects such as extreme weather events, and everyday actions we can take for a cooler planet. From fossil fuels to climate-friendlier food, learners can discover how small choices can add up to big change!

How Climate Change Works

Test your knowledge of the climate crisis! From major causes and fossil fuels to per‑person emissions, and more.

“Climate change is the story of our time, and young people seek agency, not anxiety,” says WBUR Chief Content Officer Victor Hernandez. “The Midnight Rebellion from WBUR is a pick-your-own-path podcast built on real science, and Kahoot! puts that experience directly in front of the students and educators who are ready to engage. This is why we’re thrilled to partner with Kahoot!”

Environmentalist Bill McKibben, author of Here Comes the Sun and founder of 350.org said that The Midnight Rebellion podcast was, “new, fresh, funny, engaging — and about what will be the most important challenge in the life of every young person. What’s not to like?!”
