Paul McWhorter is a former electrical engineer who spent more than 15 years working in advanced technology before moving into education. He later became a high school teacher in Texas and eventually built a reputation online as a prolific instructor in programming, electronics, and engineering fundamentals. He is best known for his YouTube channel and the TopTechBoy website, where he publishes tutorials on Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Python, and other core skills for aspiring engineers and coders. His clear, methodical teaching style and practical, project-based approach have made him a trusted figure for beginners and hobbyists looking to gain confidence in technology.
Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. It's designed for anyone making interactive projects. Arduino boards can read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board.
