Key Points:
- A science project created by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in 8th grade, titled "What is the SCR?," sold at auction for $34,375.
- The project includes a plywood display board with three panels explaining silicon-controlled rectifiers, a wooden model, test circuits, and a 10-page report authored by Jobs in 1968.
- The project was obtained from John Chovanec, Jobs' stepbrother, who inherited some of Jobs' early belongings after the death of Paul Jobs, Steve's adoptive father.
- Chovanec has previously sold other early Steve Jobs memorabilia, including a 1977 Apple poster that fetched $659,900 and an Apple-1 wooden case that sold for $254,375.
- Jobs had declined to collect some personal items left in the family home after Paul Jobs' death, leading to Chovanec eventually selling the items at auction.
