ComEd is not only helping with the EV transition, but working to increase the involvement of young women with STEM with the latest iteration of a cool summer event.
ComEd, short for Commonwealth Edison Company, is the largest electric utility in Illinois and one of the largest in the United States. The company was founded in 1907 and has been providing reliable energy services to customers for over a century. ComEd’s service area covers most of northern Illinois, including the city of Chicago and its surrounding suburbs. Today, ComEd serves more than 4 million customers across 11,400 square miles of territory.
The ComEd EV Rally is now accepting applications from young women in Illinois between the ages of 13 and 18 who are interested in participating in a competition that challenges them to build and race high-tech electric go-carts. The program is designed to encourage young women to explore career pathways in STEM and will provide opportunities for participants to work with women from ComEd.
If you’re interested in the event, there’s an upcoming opportunity to meet with them. ComEd representatives will be available at the Chicago Auto Show during Family Day on February 20th to speak with interested participants and accept applications for this exciting summer program. This is a fantastic opportunity for young women to learn about electric vehicles and gain hands-on experience building one while working alongside industry professionals.
Overall, getting more young women involved in STEM is essential for creating a more equitable and prosperous future for everybody, including the guys they’ll be working with and the public at large.
