Current Events > What Happened to Clock Kid? Ahmed Mohamed Now in 2020

(+) Yeah! (+)

Tick tock ka-homeroom? What began as a normal day for 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed quickly turned into a nightmare of supposed islamophobia. The young tech enthusiast brought in a clock he had invented to show off his electronics skills to his teachers. Fearing that the contraption was some kind of bomb hoax the police were called and Ahmed was detained by the local authorities. The story went viral and it wasnt long before the internet was up in arms for this miscarriage of justice, but could this media narrative be a load of croc?

Clock Kids Early Life

Born on the 29th of August 2001 to Sudanese born Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed and Muna Ahmed Ibraham, Ahmed Mohamed was known in his middle school for always toying with something. Whether it was a handmade remote for disrupting the overhead projector or building portable battery chargers for teachers it was clear that he was gifted when it came to electronics. So when on September 14th 2015 he was detained by local authorities on the grounds of possessing a hoax bomb the surprise on his face, and everyone elses, was genuine.

He claimed to have built a clock out of scrap he found around his home then built a small pencil-case to house the device. Showing it off first to his Engineering teacher he was advised to keep it hidden for the rest of the day. He did not and revealed it again in English class. He set the time and set off the alarm which alerted his teacher to it. Again he was advised to not show it to anyone else, on the grounds that it looked like a bomb. Ahmed complied, but closed it with a cable rather than locking it, claiming that locking it might have looked more suspicious than closing it with a cable.

However it seems he was too late and he probably should have heeded the advice of his Engineering teacher, the English teacher confiscated the device and brought it before the principal who called the authorities. The police and the principal took him out of class and the 14-year-old techie was interrogated for an hour and a half by five officers. The authorities claim this was only to determine his intentions in bringing the handmade device to his school. He was subsequently handcuffed and taken into police custody.
