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.

"Genesis recognises the importance of supporting programs that provide quality STEAM education to youth from under-resourced communities," said Corson. "TGR Foundation has been an excellent partner of Genesis, delivering STEAM education to youth at the TGR Learning Lab, helping build the next generation of leaders and creators."

For over 25 years, TGR Foundation has empowered students to pursue their passions through education. Since 2006, the TGR Learning Lab has provided local youth with unique STEAM-based learning experiences in a safe environment. Each class connects students to tangible career paths while preparing them for success in school and beyond.
"We're grateful for the ongoing support of Genesis as we provide opportunities to help students connect what they're learning in the classroom to the real world," said John Lee, TGR Foundation senior vice president of programs. "The hands-on activities with Child Creativity Lab combined with vehicle tours and insights from Genesis professionals was an impactful experience for our students."
