You can’t turn climate change into a game. But…
Katie Patrick realized that a lot of smart people were busy working on the technical solutions to huge environmental problems. But no one was paying attention to the psychological barriers that kept people from taking practical action on those solutions.
So she combined environmental engineering, human psychology, and game design to create technology-driven solutions that actually drove climate change action.
She leaned into behavioral science and gamification techniques; in order to create solutions designed for dopamine, inspiring people to take practical action, and making saving the world one of the greatest games we’ll ever play.
So, you can.
