A Pittsburgh-area school district is warning kids not to stick objects in the ports of their Chromebooks, saying the dangerous TikTok trend poses a serious safety hazard.

A new trend among young students circulating on TikTok is prompting warnings from local fire officials and school districts across the U.S., including here in Missouri, as well as Springfield.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools principals are warning parents about a new TikTok challenge. The trend is known as the ‘TikTok Chromebook Spark Challenge.’ The trend includes tampering with Chromebook charging ports or power supplies to create sparks. School officials say the challenge could cause damage to school property and inflict serious injury.
