Genesis and TGR Foundation Collaborate for Student Success
In a significant move to foster career readiness and enhance educational opportunities in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics), Genesis Motor America has partnered with the TGR Foundation. This collaboration aims to reach and empower under-resourced students in both California and Pennsylvania, providing them with essential resources and experiences that align with today's automotive industry needs.
On July 20, 2026, Genesis announced the expansion of its educational programming through its corporate social responsibility initiative, Genesis Gives. This initiative represents a commitment to improving accessibility and performance in youth sports and STEAM education.
Hands-On Learning Experiences
The collaboration kicked off with engaging workshops at TGR Learning Labs located in Anaheim, California, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. For instance, students at TGR Learning Lab Anaheim recently participated in a design-focused workshop hosted by Genesis in El Segundo, which illuminated various career paths in the automotive industry. Participants were introduced to automotive design and engaged in creative processes that involved ideation sketching, 3D modeling, and even animated movie production. Brandon Ramirez, the director of corporate social responsibility at Genesis Motor America, emphasizes how these hands-on experiences are crucial for students to understand the skills and technologies that underpin the automotive sector and STEAM-related fields.
John Lee, senior vice president of programs at TGR Foundation, shared his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “Through our partnership with Genesis Motor America, our students are gaining valuable exposure and hands-on experience aligned with innovative careers in the automotive industry.” This affirmation demonstrates the positive impact of providing students with direct access to professionals in the field, thus igniting their passion for potential careers.
Innovative Approaches to Sustainable Design
In another remarkable initiative at the STEAM workshop held at TGR Learning Lab Philadelphia, students had the chance to preview the Genesis GV60 model. They participated in a unique design challenge that required them to create future mobility vehicles using upcycled materials. This exercise not only fostered creativity and engineering skills but also emphasized important concepts such as sustainability and innovation.
Long-Term Commitment to Education
Since its inception in 2006, TGR Foundation has positively impacted over 217,000 students and educators through its innovative education programs. These programs play a pivotal role in establishing safe learning environments that empower youth to explore their interests and prepare them for future careers. In conjunction with Genesis, TGR Foundation engages students in STEAM educational enrichment, career readiness, and essential life skills development.
This partnership highlights a shared mission to make quality education accessible to students from diverse backgrounds and to inspire them towards achieving their dreams. Genesis' commitment to corporate social responsibility through Genesis Gives, alongside TGR Foundation’s longstanding history of empowering youth, reflects a synergistic approach to education.
As of 2024, Genesis has already supported STEAM initiatives that have benefited more than 250 students across the TGR Learning Lab locations. The strategic alliance between Genesis Motor America and TGR Foundation is a testament to their dedication to shaping the minds of the next generation.
