Jobs at IBM
I wanted the chance to run my own business over the summer. I wanted the freedom to run with my ideas too. Expand your world.

12 weeks running your very own micro business.

Extreme Blue is no ordinary summer internship. Where else could you develop a technology and business plan to bring a new product to life in just 12 weeks? Working in a small team of students, you’ll transform an idea into a real product. Then, when the 12 weeks are up, you’ll showcase it to our executives, business partners and clients.


Meet the class of 2009

Check out how our 2009 Extreme Blue students got on during their 12 weeks with us.



Extreme Blue isn’t for the faint hearted. It’s about pushing boundaries. It’s intense, challenging and tough. The projects are real. They move quickly, expectations are high and the results are subject to scrutiny. But when millions of people around the world are using the product that your team helped develop, you’ll find that all the hard work was worth it.
