Environmental education requires experiences that link learning and active participation in everyday spaces. This study proposes an educational intervention model supported by the Internet of Things, where playful interaction facilitates reflection on responsible practices. The proposal was developed based on a literature review, dialogue with specialists, and the integration of environmental sensors into an interactive touchscreen system. The experience was applied to 32 people, assessing interaction using the System Usability Scale. The results show a favorable perception, reflected in an average score of 75.3, along with observations aimed at visual and sensory adjustments. The experience demonstrates that the model allows environmental education to be brought into educational and community spaces, maintaining pedagogical consistency and offering possibilities for application in environments with similar conditions.
