After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, ComEd is excited to introduce its latest summer STEM program, the ComEd EV Rally! Young women in Illinois can now apply to the ComEd EV Rally, a competition that challenges teens to build electric-powered racecars. Thirty young women will work with ComEd women engineers to build high-tech racecars and race them in Chicago as they explore career pathways in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The application is open to any girl who is an Illinois resident between the ages of 13 and 18. Every participant will receive a $2,000 scholarship for completing the program. They will learn from ComEd mentors, connect with peers, and apply their STEM knowledge to building an electric vehicle. The competition will culminate with an once-in-a-lifetime experience as participants’ race their cars in Chicago on Saturday, Aug. 6. Find out more about the program by visiting ComEdEVRally.com.
