HOW IT WORKS

The Science Behind Faraday Bags

Faraday bags are built on a simple but powerful principle of physics: electromagnetic shielding.

Find the Right Solution

Generation Faraday offers a variety of products, including Velcro, magnetic, and locking Faraday bags, as well as other tools to create a phone-free environment. Unlike other bags that may only contain devices without blocking signals, our solutions completely eliminate distractions by blocking Wi-Fi, cellular, Bluetooth, and GPS signals. Generation Faraday is here to help you choose the right solution based on your school’s specific needs—and with built-in RFID integration, administrators gain unmatched visibility and accountability.

Seamless Implementation

Setup & Training: Understanding that every school has different needs, we offer personalized implementation guidance to ensure the bags are rolled out in a way that works best for you. We also provide onboarding materials for students and parents to ensure a smooth transition.

Ongoing Support: Our team is always available to provide continuous support, helping you address any challenges and ensuring the system runs seamlessly over time.

Distractions Eliminated, Learning Enhanced

With phones securely contained and signals completely blocked, students can focus fully on the lesson at hand. This creates a conducive environment for learning, where attention is directed toward academic engagement, productivity, and mindfulness—ultimately enhancing both individual performance and overall classroom dynamics. Teachers, too, can focus on teaching without having to manage constant distractions, allowing for a more productive and immersive learning experience.

Built for Real-World Use

While Generation Faraday was created to reduce distractions in schools, its use extends far beyond the classroom. Whether in a yoga studio, concert venue, workplace, or at home, Generation Faraday bags make going signal-free simple, secure, and practical for everyday life. As a division of Mission Darkness, our products are trusted in high-security environments, including by local police and military. If needed, we’d be happy to provide references from local law enforcement that have supported our products.

Bringing Generation Faraday bags and the Generation Faraday App into schools is a straightforward, well-supported process designed for easy adoption with minimal disruption.

Unlike other bags, Generation Faraday bags create a fully distraction-free environment by completely blocking signals, ensuring students stay focused. With built-in RFID integration, each bag is tied to a student profile, giving administrators clear visibility, accountability, and efficient management at scale. From planning to full implementation, Generation Faraday is with you every step of the way, providing the guidance and support needed for a seamless transition to a truly signal-free space.

Common Questions

Questions & Answers

Why choose Faraday bags over other classroom management options?

Faraday bags are a simple, cost-effective solution that completely blocks distractions by cutting off all signals so that phones do not vibrate or ding. Unlike other options, they ensure that students retain their devices, solving the question of possession and allowing for access in case of emergency.

How do Faraday bags help in classrooms?

Faraday bags are a tool for teachers and administrators to maintain a focused learning environment by blocking the signals to students’ devices. This helps keep attention on classwork, free from the distractions of notifications, texts, and social media.

How exactly do Faraday bags block signals?

Faraday bags use advanced signal-blocking materials that create a barrier around electronic devices, effectively “silencing” them by preventing wireless signals from coming in or going out

Are all types of signals blocked in a Faraday bag?

Faraday bags block various signals, including Wi-Fi, Cellular, and Bluetooth. This comprehensive coverage keeps devices offline, helping students avoid digital temptations while in class.

Which devices should be placed in Faraday bags?

Devices like smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and small laptops that connect to the internet or use wireless communication are ideal candidates for Generation Faraday bags. Keeping these devices offline helps ensure a distraction-free learning experience.

How do Faraday bags make classroom management easier?

By keeping devices offline, Generation Faraday bags minimize disruptions and help students stay present. This allows teachers to focus more on teaching and less on managing digital distractions in the classroom.

Can Faraday bags be used repeatedly?

Absolutely! Our Generation Faraday bags are built for frequent use and can handle daily wear and tear. They’re a long-lasting solution for managing devices in educational settings

In an emergency, can students access their phones if they’re in a Faraday bag?

Yes, in any emergency, students can quickly remove their phones from the bag, restoring full connectivity. Teachers understand the importance of access in these situations and can assist as needed.

What happens in case of an emergency if phones are stored in Faraday bags?

Schools have protocols in place for emergencies. Instructors can allow students to retrieve their phones if needed, ensuring that important communication can occur without delay.

Can accommodations be made for students with special circumstances who need access to their phones?

Yes, exceptions can be made for students who require phone access due to medical needs or other special situations. Families can coordinate with the school to arrange any necessary accommodations.

How do the locking bags work?

Faraday Max-Lock requires a specific magnetic key to unlock it. This keeps the phones protected from unauthorized access and allows for staff to to unlock them when required.
