In 2015, Chris Hong founded Elegoo in China’s Silicon Valley, Shenzhen, dedicated to providing the world's makers with truly practical kits of electronic and structural tools that students, enthusiasts, and veteran geeks could find needed at their stages. Chris Hong, who had set foot in the field of STEM during his college days, believes that the application of STEM is actually ubiquitous. For example, most sorting work in China's express industry is done by intelligent robots, including restaurants’ food delivery robots, UAV technology, etc., all of which are supported by STEM technology.
THE FOUNDING OF THE BRAND
However, there were two major problems with open-source electronics at that time. First, STEM education was not universal enough for most people, and too many beginners did not have appropriate technical tools. Second, most enterprises and makers in the STEM industry only focused on the hardware of open-source electronics and did not have tools to create a complete product by combining electronic hardware and structural shells. Therefore, Chris, who had just graduated from university, initiated the idea of starting a business, which would be based in China’s Silicon Valley Shenzhen, and rely on its advantages in sophisticated supply chain and technical talents to allow makers to buy suitable electronic hardware and 3D printers to create everything and anything.
