Faraday Bags provide a protective shield against electromagnetic fields (EMFs). Preventing unauthorized access to or interference with electronic devices. These bags are designed to block signals from radio frequencies, cellular networks, GPS and Wi-Fi, which can protect sensitive information stored on devices like smartphones, credit cards and key fobs.

They are particularly valuable in safeguarding against hacking, data theft, or unauthorized tracking, as well as in scenarios where individuals want to maintain privacy or protect their devices from electromagnetic pulses (EMPs).

With this is mind, Faraday Bags can be highly useful in schools in enhancing security and protecting against potential threats to student privacy. During school hours where personal devices like smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches are often used, Faraday Bags can block wireless signals to prevent unwanted tracking, unauthorized communication or cyberattacks. They are also useful in situations where electronic devices may be vulnerable to hacking or tampering, especially during class-time, labs and exams.

By having students store their devices, specifically phones, in Faraday Bags, schools can help teachers and students prevent cheating, minimize distractions, and protect sensitive information from being compromised.

Many school districts and schools such as Northview High School in Grand Rapids Michigan have discovered these benefits when they've implemented the use of Faraday Bags in their classrooms.

"When students enter a classroom, they are given a moment to check notifications one last time and respond to texts. The devices are then slipped into the phone-sized bags and shut. In most classrooms, they are placed into a container or on individual desks. By keeping phones within reach on decks, students have access to their devices for safety or in case of emergency."

With one student stating "Adjusting to the new routine was difficult, but he’s starting to notice its benefits... He believes the bags have increase engagement with classmates by removing distractions like pop-up notifications. It’s been a huge help for a lot of people... Something as small as checking notifications can decrease your grade or make it difficult to focus.”
