From The Daily Beast - - not a good day for the interface of STEM students and the liberal arts. The one positive note - - when Mohamed writes this college essay to Stanford or MIT or Cal-Tech - - he needs to include this story. Really cannot get more unique than this!!!
"In the past, Mohamed had built his own radios and even a Bluetooth speaker for a friend as a gift. And now he wanted to impress his teachers at his new school with his self-designed clock.
“Here in high school, none of the teachers know what I can do,” he told the Morning News.
Mohamed was in English class when his clock made a beeping sound. After the teacher asked what was that sound, Mohamed proudly unveiled his homemade clock. The teacher’s response stunned Mohamed, “She was like, it looks like a bomb.”
Mohamed explained it was simply a clock, but the teacher confiscated the clock. Soon after, Mohamed was summoned to the principal’s office, where he was met by not one but five police officers."
