Scholarship in Qatar after meeting Barack Obama
The past few weeks have marked a remarkable period in Ahmed Mohamed’s life. The US teenager was propelled to fame last month when a teacher mistook his homemade clock for a bomb. Ahmed, 14, is Muslim; the school’s decision to have him arrested prompted global condemnation and widespread allegations of racial profiling and Islamophobia.
The public rallied together to show their support for the tech-savvy student, who had brought his electronic creation in to MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas, in hopes of impressing his teachers. Barack Obama wrote to him, saying: "Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science.
