Forty-five young women geared up for ComEd’s third EV Rally, a program designed to educate female students on electric vehicles (EVs), science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) principles and the future of clean energy while connecting with female ComEd mentors on July 26th at noon at The Fields Common in Chicago. Over four build nights, students work with their mentors to assemble electric go-carts while also learning about STEM principles and participating in STEM challenges. “The ComEd EV Rally program is an incredible way for teens to get out of the classroom and experience STEM hands-on supported by likeminded peers and talented mentors,” said Cheryl Maletich, Senior Vice President of Transmission and Substation at ComEd. “Careers in STEM fields are open to all, and we are committed to ensuring the next generation of women have opportunities for successful, rewarding and lucrative careers in STEM spaces. The energy and excitement that surround these future STEM leaders was electric and ComEd was proud to support their continued perusal of STEM education.” The 45 participating students received $2,000 scholarship. The winning team this year, was Lilac Laser. For more information, visit www.ComEd.com/STEM.
