Our mission is to empower our customers to build cool and useful gadgets while acquiring new skills and knowledge in the process. Join us on this exciting journey of discovery and creation!
At amomii, we have a passion for education, design, and technology. Founded in early 2020 by Shaun Armstrong, a UK native living in Taiwan with qualifications in design, art, and mechanical engineering, our company is driven by the vision of combining education with hobbyist electronics. Shaun's diverse background and love for music and technology have shaped our product offerings and educational approach.
Shaun's adventure in Taiwan began in 2008 when he arrived to teach English for a year. However, captivated by the country's allure, he decided to extend his stay. After seven years of immersing himself in Taiwanese culture, he realized that teaching English wasn't his true calling. Determined to align his professional life with his interests, Shaun embarked on a journey of learning and discovery.
Seeking to enhance his skills, Shaun pursued a distance learning HNC course in Mechanical Engineering from Teesside University, UK. Over three years of diligent study while maintaining a full-time job, he graduated with distinction. This newfound knowledge sparked a passion for learning, leading him to delve into Arduino and 3D printing, honing his skills and embarking on exciting projects.
With a growing expertise in engineering and a desire to share his passion, Shaun started teaching robotics, coding, and design classes at the international school where he worked. As his classes gained popularity, he founded the Armstrong Academy, an after-school club focused on empowering students to build amazing projects using Arduino as the foundation.
Shaun realized that existing kits in the market fell short of providing a comprehensive engineering experience for his students. They often resulted in mere prototypes, lacking the substantial and finished look he desired. Motivated by this gap, Shaun decided to create his own kits, leveraging direct student feedback and his own experience to refine and perfect his designs.
