Our story
While expanding its electronic components distribution, iCShop built MakerLab, a space for makers to exchange ideas and collaborate. In August 2018, it established the iCShop.EDU education division to promote STEAM education. The division develops CIRCUS Pi, a brand of teaching kits designed and developed in Taiwan, along with a wider range of kits aligned with the 108 Curriculum Guidelines.
