In just three days time, Ahmed Mohamed has gone from being a relatively unknown high school student with an interest in robotics to one of the most talked about people in the tech community. Mohamed, who is a student at the Irving Independent School District in Irving, Texas, was arrested on Monday after he brought a homemade clock to school that teachers and police mistook for a bomb. Since, Mohamed has been understandably released and his disturbing arrest has not only stimulated a discussion about racial profiling (Mohamed is Muslim) but has also incited an outpouring of support from heavy hitters in the tech community and even high power politicians.
