Genesis Products Inc. and VÖHRINGER Present Interior Innovation with Winnebago Electric RV at the European Caravan Salon, Düsseldorf, Germany


Innovative Materials & Engineering for Lightweighting
The battery required to power electric RVs weighs a little over 1000 lbs. – making ultra lightweight interiors critical. Winnebago turned to Genesis for their leadership in lightweight panels and strong ties to Europe, where alternative lightweight solutions are popular.

Nic Bontrager, Product Manager at Genesis, led the project: “Once we understood the need, we sourced VunderTech®, an ultra-lightweight engineered panel, from our German partner VÖHRINGER.” VunderTech is a composite sandwich panel made of partly recycled, light core materials and was selected for primary use in the bathroom, where Genesis engineered five, large curved panels with unique hidden fasteners. This reduced the overall number of pieces needed, thus removing dead weight.

Genesis carried this concept through the rest of the cabinetry, using long, continuous pieces and lightweight aluminum supports to reduce the amount of physical structure needed.

Contemporary and Cohesive RV Design

Inspired by Japanese design principles, Winnebago selected a light bamboo woodgrain paired with a soft blue and silver color palette. Genesis used their laminate expertise and relationships with local and European suppliers to color-match across vinyl, HPL and paper laminates. Genesis used a 5-axis CNC to create smooth, rounded edges to create the distinct curved edges throughout the cabinetry in the unit.

Sustainable Interior Trim

For interior trim, Winnebago desired a high-end automotive look that blended seamlessly with the rest of the unit. To achieve this, Genesis manufactured one cohesive piece for the headliner vs multiple parts, creating better flow. The headliner is made of molded Polyethylene terephthalate, or PET, which is made of up to 50% recycled water bottles and lighter than traditional wallboard. PET was also used for the entirety of the interior trim.

Founded in 2002, Genesis Products is “Product Driven – People Powered” as a leading supplier of laminated panels and wood components for a variety of industries, including leading manufacturers in the Cabinet & Storage, Store Fixture, Office & Education, Recreational Vehicle, Furniture and Transportation industries.

CodeHS Launches AI-Powered Hints to Support Educators & Students in the Computer Science Classroom


AI is a powerful tool that can be used to support teachers in identifying learning needs and quickly providing individualized feedback for students.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — CodeHS, a leading K-12 computer science teaching platform and curriculum provider, has developed new Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to better support teachers and elevate the learning experience for students on the CodeHS platform.

While personalized feedback positively increases student learning outcomes, teachers often have limited time to provide feedback that meets the varying needs of large groups of students. These AI features are designed to speed up the process of identifying student errors, formulating feedback, and assigning grades. With the introduction of the Artificial Intelligence Beta tools, CodeHS aims to provide educators with tools that streamline their workflows and offer enhanced support to students in real-time.

CodeHS is currently developing AI tools to streamline teacher workflows for feedback and grading.

  • AI Hints will identify errors in student code and generate a suggested hint for teachers to send to students. This will allow teachers to quickly give large groups of students more individualized and targeted feedback during the learning process.
  • AI Grade Suggestions will identify student errors once students have submitted an assignment. It will also explain the error and give a suggested grade, which will save teachers valuable time. This quick process will also allow students to receive feedback faster, empowering them to utilize that feedback to learn and improve.

All of these new tools will still keep the control of feedback and grades completely in the hands of teachers. The AI is a resource to identify errors quickly, provide teachers with fast insight into student understanding, and give teachers suggestions.

“We’re really excited about the power of AI to help teachers give more directed, more personalized feedback to students much faster. AI has the potential to significantly change how we educate students for the better, and I’m very optimistic about the possibilities.” – Zach Galant, CTO & Co-founder of CodeHS

The new AI Hints Tool is currently in beta and available for educators on CodeHS Pro to opt into. For all other AI tools, Pro educators can join the waitlist to get early access.
