Before Apple, Steve Jobs Just Wanted an A in Science Class
Long before he was unveiling iPhones, a 13-year-old Steve Jobs was building a plywood display board titled "What Is the Silicon-Controlled Rectifier?" for his 8th-grade science fair. Now that 1968 project, complete with a handwritten "please unplug!" note, is one of 212 lots in RR Auction's Apple 50th Anniversary sale, alongside sealed first-gen iPhones and a $205,000 typewriter-cased Apple-1. It's estimated to fetch over $20,000, proof that even garage-era legends started with a graded homework assignment.
Nothing says legacy quite like your childhood homework outbidding your actual salary.
