It’s an 8th-grade science fair project with two demonstration circuits – and a warning note from Steve to his teachers.

Steve Jobs’ eighth-grade science fair project is set to go up for auction as part of Apple's 50th anniversary celebration. The project, which includes two demonstration circuits and a warning note from Jobs to his teachers, is one of over 200 items being auctioned. The auction, titled "Steve Jobs & the Computer Revolution: The Apple 50th Anniversary Auction," has already seen the first ever check issued by the company sell for $2.4 million.
Dated February 29, 1968, the science fair project includes a 32-inch plywood display, a 10-page report, and Jobs' hand-drawn circuit diagrams. The warning note likely warns of the risk of the circuit burning out if left running for too long. Online bids for the project are currently below $3,000, but this is expected to change. The auction also includes a fully-functional early Apple 1 computer and a development prototype of the original iPod.
