I may really be able to help you out with a few things, because I am currently a High School student at a tech magnet school interning at a "regular" HS.
What I can tell you is, if they aren't interested and do not see the application already, they will be hard to reach, as with any other subject. For a long time, it seemed like the driving factor to our magnet was money. Now when I'm talking *nix distros with freshman, I see things are progressing in the area quickly.
Basically, my advice is that it will take time to see results. Relate as many things as you can, and try to avoid the onslaught (It will come) of "HEY CAN U FIX MY COMPUTAR LOLZ" and begging for freebies.
http://www.irvingisd.net/academy/ is the website of the magnet, and may be worth a look.
If putting nuclear reactors in giant robots isn't feasible, and the amount of power lines they seem to run into...
I need to lay off the Robotech, I think.
I'm sorry, chasing after your radioactive mutated frog through a huge underground world that just HAPPENS to be under your farm is strange to me. It's going to take a lot to beat that.
Norton Utilities is still the best choice if you want to teach the user to manage his or her own diagnostics after time.
I've found SiSoft's Sandra to be useful when identifying problems.
