Genesis Expands STEAM and Arts Outreach in Seattle

During the workshop, developed alongside Child Creativity Lab, students examined the electric Genesis GV60 and utilized upcycled materials to prototype their own transportation designs. This initiative, part of the Genesis Gives corporate social responsibility program, has reached nearly 1,500 children nationwide this year alone. Brandon Ramirez, director of corporate social responsibility for Genesis Motor America, noted that providing access to applied learning and arts experiences helps students uncover career paths they might otherwise never consider.

Beyond technical workshops, the Genesis Inspiration Foundation awarded a $10,000 grant to AIM Seattle, a nonprofit dedicated to inclusive arts programming for children with disabilities. The funding aims to bolster the organization's ability to provide accessible creative outlets, camps, and community-based experiences. Kristin Nygaard, program director at AIM Seattle, emphasized that the support allows the organization to maintain accessibility while expanding opportunities for disabled youth to develop skills and find community. Since 2018, the Genesis Inspiration Foundation has distributed over $16 million to nationwide arts programs.
