What they built

Noah Fakheri 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 limits distracting phone use during school hours while preserving emergency access and school-approved functionality. It addresses a real classroom problem: student distraction, teacher enforcement burden, and expensive or easy-to-bypass physical phone-locking systems.
