A Texas high school student at the center of a storm after authorities mistook his clock invention for a fake bomb got a reprieve from the highest level Wednesday.
President Obama invited him to bring his invention to the White House.
"Cool clock, Ahmed.
Want to bring it to the White House?
," @POTUS tweeted.
"We should inspire more kids like you to like science.
It's what makes America great."
Officials at MacArthur High School in Irving suspended freshman Ahmed Mohamed, 14, for three days and called police after determining that his invention looked like a bomb.
