In 1981, he went back to UC Berkeley and finished his degree in electrical engineering/computer science. For his achievements at Apple Computer, Wozniak was awarded the National Medal
of Technology by the President of the United States in 1985, the highest honor bestowed on America’s leading innovators.
In 2000, he was inducted into the Inventors Hall of Fame and was awarded
the prestigious Heinz Award for Technology, The Economy and Employment
for "single-handedly designing the first personal computer and for then
redirecting his lifelong passion for mathematics and electronics toward
lighting the fires of excitement for education in grade school students
and their teachers."
After leaving Apple in 1985, Wozniak was involved in various business and philanthropic ventures, focusing primarily on computer capabilities in schools and stressing hands-on learning
and encouraging creativity for students. Making significant investments of both his time and resources in education, he “adopted” the Los Gatos School District, providing students and
teachers with hands-on teaching and donations of state-of-the-art technology equipment. He founded the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and was the founding sponsor of the Tech Museum,
Silicon Valley Ballet and Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose.
Wozniak currently serves as Chief Scientist for Fusion-io and is a published author with the release of his New York Times Best Selling autobiography, iWoz: From Computer Geek to Cult Icon,
in September 2006 by Norton Publishing. His television appearances include reality shows
"Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List" and season eight of ABC’s
"Dancing with the Stars."
