What they built

Brian Ohebshalom co-founded LockedIn, a phone-free campus software product for schools, while a high school student at Milken Community School in Los Angeles. The app is designed to reduce student phone distraction during school hours without relying on expensive physical pouches or constant teacher enforcement. It solves a real education problem by helping schools create more focused classrooms while preserving access for emergencies and approved uses.
