ComEd’s commitment to helping young women enter the STEM workforce is spearheaded by programs like the EV Rally. A summer program featuring 45 Chicagoland teenagers working in teams to build and build and race their own electric go-karts with mentorship from women at ComEd. This is just one of the ways ComEd helps students realize their STEM futures
