Can my Apple Pencil 2 work with my iPad 6th gen 9.7?

No. Only the 1st generation Apple Pencil.

Apple Pencil (2nd generation)

You can use Apple Pencil (2nd generation) with these iPad models: 

• iPad Air (4th generation)
• iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation) and later
• iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation) and later

As every iPads have their compatibility with pencils with different generation,

Apple Pencil 2nd generation has the wireless charging feature which we can use in iPad Air and pro, as I said there are many things due to which we can’t use Apple Pencil 2nd generation with iPad 6th gen, 8th gen, 9th gen or iPad mini.

you can use the Apple Pencil 1st generation with the greatest compatibility with greatest efficiency with your iPad 6th gen, 8th gen, 9th gen, and iPad mini too.

hope this will help

good luck for the creativity you will do with your iPad and its compatible apple pencil.

No.
