Genesis And TGR Foundation Continue Partnership For Advancing Access To STEAM Education

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., May 16, 2024 – Genesis employees recently volunteered at the TGR Learning Lab in Anaheim, California, to promote access to science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) education for local youth. This initiative is part of Genesis' ongoing partnership with TGR Foundation.

In collaboration with Child Creativity Lab, Genesis organised workshops where students in the after-school program created future mobility vehicles using reclaimed and upcycled materials. Ash Corson, director of product planning at Genesis Motor North America, shared his automotive journey and showcased two Genesis models. He also discussed potential career opportunities in the industry.
