DALLAS, May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Genesis and the Genesis Inspiration Foundation continued their commitment to supporting science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) education in communities throughout North Texas. Through Genesis Gives, the corporate social responsibility initiative of Genesis Motor America, 50 eighth grade students participated in an interactive STEAM workshop at the Mesquite Independent School District (ISD) Professional Development Center (PDC). Additionally, Genesis Inspiration Foundation awarded grants to Junior Players and North Texas Performing Arts, strengthening access to creative learning opportunities in the arts for students throughout the region.

"STEAM education allows students to explore how art, design, and technical thinking work together," said Brandon Ramirez, director, corporate social responsibility, Genesis Motor America and board member, Genesis Inspiration Foundation. "Through our work in North Texas, Genesis is proud to support learning experiences that encourage creativity, self-expression, and hands-on discovery."

During the STEAM workshop at Mesquite ISD PDC, 50 eighth-grade students were introduced to the Genesis product planning process and participated in a walkaround of the Genesis GV60. Students also took part in a future mobility design challenge, drawing out and building their own concepts using upcycled materials. The activity encouraged creative thinking while introducing ideas around design, sustainability, and engineering.

Genesis Inspiration Foundation presented a grant to Junior Players, a Dallas-based nonprofit organization that provides free arts education and performance opportunities to young people across North Texas. Junior Players offers in-school and after-school programming designed to support creative expression, collaboration, and personal growth at no cost to their participants. Funding from the Genesis Inspiration Foundation will help expand access to these programs, reaching more students throughout the community.

"A very special thank you to the Genesis Inspiration Foundation. Your generosity is not only meaningful, but also transformational," said Rosaura Cruz, executive director, Junior Players. "It takes a community willing to invest in something bigger than any one program. On behalf of all of us at Junior Players, thank you for your time, your partnership, and your belief in the power of the arts to change lives. We are truly grateful."

Genesis Inspiration Foundation also presented a grant to North Texas Performing Arts (NTPA), a leading youth performing arts organization serving students across the region. NTPA provides training and performance opportunities in theatre, music, and dance, helping students develop skills both on and off the stage. Support from the Genesis Inspiration Foundation will help NTPA continue offering high-quality educational experiences to young performers and aspiring artists.
