He Created Science Kits for Kids

 An excerpt from CNN - 

This California teen started a nonprofit to help kids learn about science. He just got accepted into Stanford

By Simret Aklilu, CNN

(CNN)Every year, high school seniors anxiously wait for college admissions letters, hoping they get accepted into their dream schools. Ahmed Muhammad was one of them.

So when Muhammad got accepted into Stanford University, he was delighted. "It was a dream come true," Muhammad told CNN. "It still doesn't feel real."

He will become a first-generation college student.

Over the course of his high school career at Oakland Technical, the California native has taken nine college classes on top of his high school workload -- no small feat for a senior who not only tutors students and plays as point guard for his school's varsity basketball team, but also runs a nonprofit that designs science kits for kids.

The nonprofit, Kits Cubed, became the main focus of his personal statement for Stanford University.
