The young boy who was arrested for taking a homemade clock into school was surprised during a live interview with an offer to tour Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

Ahmed Mohamed, 14, from Texas, was questioned by police after teachers thought the digital clock he had made looked like a bomb. His principal at MacArthur High School in Irving also suspended him.

Ahmed said he had only taken the clock into school to show his teachers.

His story has since garnered support from people around the world, with many impressed at his invention and engineering capability.
