IBM Extreme Blue internship experience

The Extreme Blue™ program is IBM's premier internship program for top-notch students pursuing software development and MBA degrees.

Once selected into the program, you will become part of a team working in one of the 14 Extreme Blue labs worldwide. Your team's challenge is to develop the technology and business plan for a new product or service that addresses an existing market challenge.

Through the program, interns have submitted more than 360 patent disclosures and have made more than sixty open source contributions to the open source community. They helped create solutions for key clients and bring-to-market the next generation of IBM products. Not bad for just 12 weeks of work.

Unlike other intern programs that may relegate you to work on outdated technology, the Extreme Blue teams work on leading technology that helps grow your skills and evolve you into a more attractive candidate in the technology field. Interns in this high-performance environment get to roll up their sleeves and work with "hot" technologies such as Linux-, Web 2.0, Web services and Virtualization.

"The biggest surprise about this commitment is the amount of resources that are available to you as an intern. In my particular project, the amount of resources that are available in terms of processing power and storage are more than I think I'll ever be able to work with anywhere else."
