Steve Jobs’ 8th-grade science fair project goes up for auction

Collectors have proven avid fans of Steve Jobs memorabilia over the years, and a new piece seems likely to attract significant interest. It’s an 8th-grade science fair project with two demonstration circuits – and a warning note from Steve to his teachers.

It’s remained at the Jobs family property in Los Altos ever since, but is now one of more than 200 items in an Apple 50th anniversary auction …

Apple celebrated its 50th anniversary this year, and RR Auctions marked the event with a two-part auction entitled Steve Jobs & the Computer Revolution: The Apple 50th Anniversary Auction. Part one saw the first ever check issued by the company sell for a staggering $2.4 million.

Part two includes the science fair project.

The warning note likely reflects the risk of the circuit burning out if it were left running for too long. At the time of writing, online bids sit below $3,000, but we can certainly expect that to change.

There’s also a fully-functional early Apple 1.

And a development prototype of the original iPod.
