N vs Beaverton Backpack

The N-Back Challenge provides a special type of cognitive training, “dual n-back,” that helps you raise your IQ in just a few minutes per day. Sounds implausible? The N-Back Challenge is based on a decade’s worth of scientific studies, published in top peer-reviewed journals, including Nature. (For more details, see https://nbackchallenge.com/science.) The catch? It’s no fun at all! Indeed, the training is designed to be maximally exhausting. If you are determined enough to make it through 20 sessions, however, science suggests that you stand to reap powerful benefits. Intelligence is the ultimate cognitive ability: You need it to learn, reason, solve novel problems, and see connections. Higher IQs have been linked to improved academic achievement, professional success, and even better health. Since it will take you just 7 hours, in total, to complete the N-Back Challenge, not much more than the length of a single school day, it may prove to be the best investment of time you’ve ever made! ------------------------------ SCIENTIFICALLY SOUND: Not only has the dual n-back paradigm been validated in top peer-reviewed journals, but our two founders – both PhDs, one with a focus on neuroscience, the other with a focus on higher education – have taken particular care to thoroughly align the app with the prevailing scientific research. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS: In order to help you stay motivated, the N-Back Challenge allows you to visually monitor your progress over time, build up “streaks,” and compare yourself against other learners across various stats. COMPETE AGAINST YOUR FRIENDS: Perhaps the most powerful way of making sure you remain motivated to complete the Challenge is to tackle it together with friends or colleagues. To make it more fun, we’ve provided leaderboards that allow you to compete based on who has completed the most sessions, racked up the longest streak, and more. CUSTOMIZE YOUR EXPERIENCE: The N-Back Challenge allows you to choose between different voices across multiple languages, turn on notifications, and customize their timing and style. There are advanced settings for turning on instant button feedback, controlling the n-back level, and tweaking the game speed. And if you are too busy to complete one session every day, you may switch to the Weekly Habit, which gives you a full week to complete each session. ------------------------------ ARE YOU… … A PARENT? Give your children an edge at school or university by nudging them to complete the N-Back Challenge. Indeed, why not tackle the Challenge together as a family? … A GRANDCHILD? Help your grandparents (and other older relatives) fight cognitive decline by introducing them to dual n-back. (See https://nbackchallenge.com/decline.) … A KNOWLEDGE WORKER? Share the N-Back Challenge with your HR department. Dual n-back may well be the single most cost-effective way of making knowledge workers more productive. (See https://nbackchallenge.com/work.) … A TEACHER? Use dual n-back to enhance students' problem-solving skills. You can have a big impact, with a minimal investment of time! (See https://nbackchallenge.com/class.) ------------------------------ HOW IT WORKS: The N-Back Challenge is free as long as you stick to the program. When you miss or delay a session, we ask you to support us with a “coffee,” which you can buy in-app or earn — for example, by using the Share link in the Settings to invite friends. (Each of you will receive a free coffee.) You can also unlock unlimited free breaks by becoming a premium subscriber. CUSTOMER SUPPORT: Do you have any questions or suggestions? Like to say hello?

School mornings have enough moving parts. Beaverton Backpack brings Hiteon school information and your family’s plans into one calm place. A quick look at Today shows the school-day outlook, your saved class routines, upcoming dates, and useful weather reminders. At 6 PM Pacific, it switches to tomorrow so you can get the backpacks ready tonight. • Browse published SchoolCafé breakfast and lunch menus, including sides and drinks. • Read dated headlines from Beaverton School District and open the original articles. • See school calendar events alongside your own family dates. Add, edit, and remove dates saved in Backpack. • Choose a flyer photo or screenshot, review the detected titles, dates, and times, then save them in Backpack. You can also add copies to Apple Calendar with write-only permission. • Create student profiles, choose a teacher, and set PE, library, music, and art days. Edit a profile while keeping its photo and routines. • Keep supply checklists handy throughout the school year. • Make a pickup plan and share it through your iPhone’s share sheet. • Turn on optional evening and weekly reminders, and add the tomorrow widget to your Home Screen. School Sites brings together links to ParentSquare, ParentVUE, Seesaw, SchoolCafé, Here Comes the Bus, InTouch Payments, and Hiteon PTC. Sign in directly on each provider’s own page. Your phone keeps the session for as long as that provider allows, with controls to go back, reload, or open the page in Safari. No Backpack login is needed for public school information or local family tools. Family profiles, photos, routines, pickup plans, checklists, and saved dates are stored on your phone. Flyer photos are read on-device. Sharing a pickup plan or exporting a calendar date happens only when you choose it. Optional email digests provide a forwarding address for school emails you choose to forward. That feature uses a server to process the messages and store the sender, subject, and received time, but not the message body. You can turn it off and delete its stored information separately in Settings. “Erase family data” removes local family records and stops their reminders. School-site sessions, email-forwarding controls, and copies already added to Apple Calendar are managed separately. Made by a Hiteon parent who had too many school apps and too much to remember. Beaverton Backpack is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Beaverton School District or the school-site providers. Public information and menus can change; confirm important details directly with the school.
