VALLEY, Calif., May 16, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- In continuation of programming through its
partnership with TGR Foundation, Genesis employees recently
volunteered at the TGR Learning Lab in Anaheim, California to advance access to
science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM)
education for youth in the community. Partnering with Child
Creativity Lab, Genesis hosted workshops at the TGR Learning Lab
where members participating in the after-school program learned how
to develop their own future mobility vehicles using reclaimed and
upcycled materials. Additionally, Ash Corson, director of product
planning at Genesis Motor North America, highlighted his automotive
journey, showcased two Genesis models, and detailed potential
career opportunities in the industry for the youth in
attendance.
"Genesis recognizes 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 more than 25 years, TGR Foundation has empowered students to
pursue their passions through education, particularly youth from
under-resourced communities. Since 2006, the TGR Learning Lab has
offered local youth unique, STEAM-based learning experiences in a
safe and inspiring environment, providing access to opportunities
they need to learn, grow, and prepare for their futures. Each class
is intentional about connecting 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."
The Genesis design studio in Irvine,
California also hosted students from the TGR Learning Lab
for a tour, where they learned about various Genesis design careers
from industry experts. During the visit, John Krsteski, senior chief designer of Genesis
Design North America, discussed firsthand the design and modeling
processes for future Genesis vehicles.
