Who wants to build a race car? ComEd is seeking 30 young women who have a passion for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to join them for the 2018 Icebox Derby, a competition involving teens from across Chicagoland to transform recycled refrigerators into electric and solar-enhanced racecars. Applications are available now for ComEd’s fifth-annual Icebox Derby on www.IceboxDerby.com. The application period will close on Friday, June 1. The application is open to any girl who is an Illinois resident between the ages of 13 and 18. 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 fridge cars at Daley Plaza in Chicago on Saturday, Aug. 4th.
