It’s been quite the week for Ahmed Mohamed. The 14-year-old was arrested this past Monday at his Irving, Texas high school after bringing a homemade clock into class to show his teacher at MacArthur High School.  He was then questioned by police and taken into custody for building what the police call a “hoax bomb.” Mohamed was eventually released after police did not file charges.  However, that was certainly not the end of it, as the story went viral across the Internet.  Many supported Mohamed’s inventive curiosity — though some wondered how “inventive” the clock actually was — and President Obama even invited the teen to visit the White House.  Mohamed was hailed as a hero, with other tech leaders like  Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Box CEO Aaron Levie inviting him to visit their Silicon Valley offices. Now, Microsoft is showing Mohamed some love.  Enjoyed delivering box of tech goodies gifted by @microsoft to Ahmed! Mashallah! @ISta

Unless you’ve had your head planted firmly somewhere dark and extremely smelly, you’ve no doubt seen all of the hoopla being made over a Muslim boy who made a digital clock and then was arrested because his teacher thought it might be a bomb.

Feel free to do a little eye roll. Anyway, according to an engineer’s blog post on Artvoice, Ahmed didn’t actually make a digital clock. He took apart an existing clock from the 1970s and simply transplanted its guts into the pencil case he picked up off Amazon. This individual has an engineering degree and a love for all things electronics and thought it would be cool to reverse engineer the clock built by Ahmed, because well
