Thank You for a Wonderful 2024!

As we approach the end of the year we want to give our thanks to everyone that made this year such a success!

This summer the Exelon Foundation STEM Academy expanded to include a fourth location allowing us to reach 240 young women interested in pursuing a career in STEM in the Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. areas. We now have a network of over 1,200 Exelon Foundation STEM Academy alumnae!

This year we also celebrated the inaugural launch of the Exelon Foundation Boys to STEM Academy where we hosted 60 young men from across Exelon's service territory during a weeklong academy where they had a chance to work on hands-on activities, explore careers in STEM, and meet others interested in the energy industry
