"Ahmed Mohamed doesn't need high school to work on his science projects — he can do that at Space Camp.

The 14-year-old Muslim boy was handcuffed and suspended Monday after teachers at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas, thought the homemade clock he brought to school was a hoax bomb.
"I built the clock to impress my teacher, but when I showed it to her, she thought it was a threat to her," Ahmed said Wednesday. "It was really sad that she took the wrong impression from it and I got arrested for it later that day."
Since then, President Barack Obama, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and thousands of supporters have jumped to Ahmed's aid. And now, he may receive a scholarship to attend U.S. Space Camp in Alabama, where he'll join other would-be astronauts, engineers and technologists for some hands-on space training.

A spokesperson at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center confirmed Thursday that the creators of "Rocket Boys The Musical" plan to designate a scholarship for Ahmed."
