Teen who brought clock to school headed to the White House

The high school freshman who was arrested after he brought a homemade clock into his Texas school is going to be welcomed at the White House later today.

Ahmed Mohamed will be one of the guests at the White House’s Astronomy Night, where they will stargaze on the South Lawn.

He has already started sharing photos from the trip on his Twitter and Instagram accounts.

Tonight’s event will mark the second time the White House has hosted such a night, with the first iteration coming in 2009.

Mohamed was invited for a visit by President Obama himself via Twitter after news of his arrest spread in mid-September.

It comes as little surprise that Mohamed has an interest in astronomy, as he was wearing a NASA T-shirt when he was arrested at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas. The teen didn’t end up facing charges but was suspended from school for three days. He has since transferred schools.

The president isn’t the only one to offer exclusive tours to the 14-year-old, as Facebook head Mark Zuckerberg invited him to their headquarters, in addition to Twitter, Google and Reddit.

The most exciting offer, however, came from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Mohamed told “Good Morning America.”

“I dream of going there,” he said.
