TikTok is full of entertaining cat videos, humorous dances, and yes, even challenges -- the famed ice-bucket challenge has returned and is promoting mental-health support. But now a dangerous TikTok challenge is spreading through the short-form video app and through schools across the US.

A growing trend on Tik Tok called the “Chromebook challenge” has students intentionally causing Chromebook laptops to catch fire, which is raising alarms in schools across the country and here in Central Texas.

Students are short-circuiting their school-issued Chromebooks by inserting metal objects like paper clips, pencils, and even pennies into the USB ports.
