In order to provide opportunities to more Chicago-area girls, ComEd has extended the application window for its fifth-annual Icebox Derby to Friday, June 8th. Applications are available now at www.IceboxDerby.com. and open to any female Illinois resident between the ages of 13 and 18. Thirty young women who have a passion for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) will be selected to participate in the competition to transform recycled refrigerators into electric and solar-enhanced racecars. Every participant will receive a $1,500 scholarship for completing the program. Participants will work alongside ComEd mentors to build a fridge car and learn about practical applications of STEM in daily life. The competition will culminate with a once-in-a-lifetime experience as participants race their electric cars at Daley Plaza in Chicago on Saturday, Aug. 4th.
