Boulder Valley students are setting Chromebooks on fire thanks to TikTok

• The "Chromebook Challenge" is the latest social media stunt putting kids at risk in Boulder Valley schools. (Remember the Tide Pod saga or cinnamon challenge?)

Catch up quick: Boulder Valley School District spokesperson Randy Barber said there have been six reported incidents in May.

• So far, Broomfield Heights Middle School has had two incidents, there's been one at Broomfield High, one at Lafayette's Centaurus High, one at Lafayette's Angevine Middle, and one at Superior's Eldorado PK-8.
• Barber said all of the incidents occurred on school property.

Threat level: No injuries have been reported in any of the cases, but in a few of the situations, there was minor property damage.

• Barber told Axios Boulder that students in all of the cases will face "appropriate disciplinary action."

What they're saying: BVSD sent a letter to parents asking them to discuss the dangers of the trend with their children.

• "We encourage families to have a conversation with students about using social media responsibly and the potential consequences of engaging in this type of behavior," the letter read.

Zoom out: Denver Public Schools received more than 30 reports, while the Colorado Springs Fire Department reported at least 16 similar incidents.

The big picture: The challenge has cropped up in schools nationwide and already resulted in arson charges against a 15-year-old in New Jersey.

The bottom line: TikTok fads fade fast. Here's hoping this one flames out soon.
