The excitement is building – literally – as 30 young women begin to build electric vehicles (EVs) and gear up for race day at the inaugural ComEd EV Rally to be held on August 6 at the Museum of Science and Industry. Young women across Chicagoland applied and were selected to participate in this exciting opportunity to learn about EVs and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) principles and connect with female STEM mentors. The ComEd EV Rally is designed to promote STEM education for girls and to foster curiosity among the next generation of STEM leaders.  Participating students will work with ComEd women engineers over four build days to assemble high-tech racecars as they simultaneously explore career pathways in STEM. The build days will culminate on Saturday, Aug. 6, when the girls will race the cars on the campus of the Museum of Science and Industry. To further inspire STEM interest among girls in Chicagoland, ComEd is giving away 500 tickets to the Museum of Science and Industry for local girls and their families to use on race day. Illinois residents between the ages of 13 and 18 were eligible to apply for the program. In addition to connecting these young women to ComEd mentors and gaining STEM knowledge, each of the 30 young women who were selected to participate will receive a $2,000 scholarship upon completing the program.
