“Cool clock, Ahmed,” Obama tweeted about Ahmed Mohamed, 14. “Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science,” the president added. “It’s what makes America great.”

Mohamed was also suspended for three days by Irving School District administrators after alarming teachers when his homemade clock went off during class.
