Inspiring Future Innovators Through STEAM Education
As part of its commitment to STEAM education, Genesis hosted a hands-on workshop for students at Ebenezer Middle School. Developed in partnership with Child Creativity Lab, the program introduced students to emerging transportation technologies, vehicle design, and innovation within the automotive industry. During the workshop, students learned about Genesis products and future mobility concepts, explored how designers and engineers bring new vehicle ideas to life, and applied their creativity by building future mobility concepts using upcycled materials.
