Ahmed Mohamed, a 14-year-old boy from Texas, was arrested after bringing a homemade clock to school. Teachers accused him of attempting to make a bomb, prompting widespread criticism on social media.
US President Barack Obama took notice of the situation and extended an invitation to Ahmed via Twitter: "Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It’s what makes America great".
As a result, Ahmed is expected to visit the White House to meet with President Obama and showcase his talents. Additionally, Facebook Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has also invited Ahmed for a meeting, with possibilities of joining the Facebook team.
