CHICAGO, June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Genesis and Genesis Inspiration Foundation strengthened science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) education in Chicago by expanding access to creative learning experiences. Genesis Gives, the corporate social responsibility initiative of Genesis Motor America, brought a hands-on STEAM workshop to students at True Value Boys & Girls Club. Genesis Inspiration Foundation also donated $25,000 to Creative Netwerk, a nonprofit committed to promoting unity, empowerment, and healing through the arts.

"Giving students opportunities to create and explore helps unlock new ways of thinking," said Brandon Ramirez, director, corporate social responsibility, Genesis Motor America, and board member, Genesis Inspiration Foundation. "In Chicago, we're proud to champion the next generation through STEAM learning and dance education as they continue to discover their interests and shape their futures."

At True Value Boys & Girls Club, Genesis hosted a Child Creativity Lab STEAM workshop that immersed students in the fundamentals of automotive design and innovation. After learning about product development and getting an interactive look at the all-electric Genesis GV60, students created their own future mobility concepts using upcycled materials.

Creative Netwerk was awarded a $25,000 grant from Genesis Inspiration Foundation. Through high-quality dance programming, Creative Netwerk addresses risk factors for youth and helps increase engagement in school. This grant will support Creative Netwerk's mission to inspire, educate, and build community through dance culture.
