Obama invites the Texas teen clock-maker to the White House

The 14-year-old boy who was arrested after authorities at his school mistook a clock he had built for a bomb has been invited to visit the White House by none other than President Obama himself.

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.

— President Obama (@POTUS44) September 16, 2015

Ahmed Mohamed hit the headlines after he brought the homemade clock to MacArthur high school in Irving, Texas, on Monday to show one of his teachers. One teacher raised concerns that it looked like a bomb.
