Hyundai Invests in STEM Education and Provides 30,000 Meals in Western Massachusetts Through Hyundai Hope Initiative

Hyundai Motor America strengthened its connection to the Western Massachusetts community, supporting science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education for more than 40 students and helping provide 30,000 meals to local communities. At the Greater Holyoke YMCA, students participated in SAE International’s A World In Motion (AWIM) JetToy Challenge, where they built balloon-powered vehicles while learning about the design engineering process. The corporate social responsibility initiative of Hyundai Motor America, Hyundai Hope, also donated to the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts and the Thrive Center Food Pantry at Holyoke Community College (HCC) to help address food insecurity and basic needs.

“Supporting education and health initiatives is an important part of our efforts,” said Brandon Ramirez, director, corporate social responsibility, Hyundai Motor North America. “Through Hyundai Hope, we are increasing access to hands-on STEM education and directly supporting food security by helping provide 30,000 meals to communities across Western Massachusetts.”
