Abstract: This paper reports about experiences and lessons learned from a recently conducted pilot study about sustainability education with mobile inquiry-based learning in a secondary school in the Netherlands. In the pilot study learners were involved in a mobile location-based game that was conducted in reserved time-slots over 5 weeks. Mobile devices of the school and of learners have been combined with a smart-energy meter network to support learning activities covering the full inquiry cycle. Analysis of data collected shows that the implementation was beneficial for learners with a low prior knowledge level and that future designs should take into account gender aspects in the design phase.
