Why it matters: TikTok has helped popularize Beyblading among adults and kids. Many Beyblading videos on the platform have thousands of views.
How it works: Players launch their Beyblades into a roughly 12-inch space called a stadium. The last Beyblade spinning wins.
Zoom in: UT Dallas' National Society of Black Engineers runs the Texas Beyblade League to teach children about science, math and engineering through the game.
