Mr. Newton C. Braga was born in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1946. His activities in electronics began when he was only 13 years old, at which time he started writing articles for Brazilian magazines. At age 18, he had his own column in the Brazilian edition of Popular Electronics, where he introduced the concept of “electronics for youngsters.”
In 1976, he became technical director of the most important electronics magazine in South America, Revista Saber Eletrônica (published in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and other South America countries). He has also been the director of other magazines publishe d by the same company, including Eletrônica Total, and became the technical consultant for the magazines Mecatrônica Fácil, Mecatrônica Atual, and PC & CIA.
Mr. Braga has published more than 110 books about electronics, mechatronics, computers, electricity, and science fairs, as well as thousand of articles and electronics/mechatronics/science projects in magazines worldwide (U.S.A., France, Spain, Japan, Portugal, Mexico, Russia, China, et al.). Many of his books have been adopted in schools and universities around the world and even translated into other languages, with sales in excess of three million copies all over the world.
The author currently teaches mechatronics and physics and is engaged in educational projects in his home country, Brazil. These projects include Introduction to Technology (electronics, mechatronics, bionics, computer science, and other subjects) in high schools as well as professional training of workers and teachers who need enhanced knowledge in these fields. The author now lives in Guarulhos (near São Paulo) with his wife, Neuza, and his son, Marcelo.
