This summer, 30 young women from the Chicago area will build both high-tech racecars and pathways to their futures in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Girls can apply now for the sixth-annual ComEd Icebox Derby, a competition that challenges teens from across Chicagoland to transform recycled refrigerators into electric and solar-powered racecars. Applications are available now at www.IceboxDerby.com. The application period will close on Friday, June 7. 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. They will work alongside ComEd mentors to build a fridge car and learn about practical applications of STEM in daily life and STEM career options. The competition will culminate with a once-in-a-lifetime experience as participants race their electric- and solar-powered fridge cars at Daley Plaza in Chicago on Saturday, Aug. 3. This summer, nearly ten percent of former Icebox Derby participants will work at ComEd as summer interns. Find out more about the program by visiting www.IceboxDerby.com.
