An 8th grade science project created by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs fetched $34,375 at an auction.

The display board featured a wooden model of a silicon-controlled rectifier, test circuits demonstrating its principles and uses, and a diagram of a 25-amp silicon-controlled rectifier.
The project was submitted to Mrs. Yakel's science class on February 29, 1968, and included instructions for judges to test the device. The project belonged to Jobs' stepbrother, John Chovanec, who sold it along with other items from Jobs' early years, such as Apple Computer posters and an Apple-1 Byte Shop wooden case.
