The Extreme Blue(TM)internship experience combines great talent and 
cutting edge technology to drive innovation. Through the program, 
interns have filed over 270 patent disclosures, helping to create 
solutions for key clients and bring-to-market the next generation of IBM 
products.

Unlike other intern programs that may relegate a student to work on
outdated technology, Extreme Blue interns work on leading technology
that helps grow your skills and make you a more attractive candidate
in the technology field. Interns in this high performance environment 
get to roll up their sleeves and work with "hot" technology like Linux, 
Grid computing, RFID and Web Services.

Extreme Blue teams are like mini-businesses that must solve a problem or 
create a solution for a client. Interns work in small project teams that 
include business and technical students, along with IBM mentors. This 
combination creates a team dynamic that fosters collaboration and helps 
interns create both a business and technical case for a project while 
setting aggressive goals to ensure the end deliverable is “extreme” 
enough to survive a competitive marketplace. IBM mentors work with each 
team and serve as guides to help them identify and access appropriate 
IBM resources to produce better solutions.

In short, the Extreme Blue experience is challenging, competitive,
and empowers interns to Start something BIG! For more information
