Raising awareness among young people, and especially students, on therelevance of behavior change for achieving energy savings is increasingly beingconsidered as a key enabler towards long-term and cost-effective energyefficiency policies. However, the way to successfully apply educationalinterventions focused on such targets inside schools is still an open question.In this paper, we present our approach for enabling IoT-based energy savingsand sustainability awareness lectures and promoting data-driven energy-savingbehaviors focused on a high school audience. We present our experiences towardthe successful application of sets of educational tools and software over areal-world Internet of Things (IoT) deployment. We discuss the use ofgamification and competition as a very effective end-user engagement mechanismfor school audiences. We also present the design of an IoT-based hands-on labactivity, integrated within a high school computer science curricula utilizingIoT devices and data produced inside the school building, along with theNode-RED platform. We describe the tools used, the organization of theeducational activities and related goals. We report on the experience carriedout in both directions in a high school in Italy and conclude by discussing theresults in terms of achieved energy savings within an observation period.
