Where traditional boundaries end, IBM’s Extreme Blue internship comes to life. Though I applied for Extreme Blue because of its focus to apply innovative technologies, I could never expect the way this internship pushes technology to edge of what is possible. In the first day of our project we immediately met our client and the challenge, which was not to look into the future, but actually the future’s future. A lot of brainstorming, researching, applying new connections between concepts and 90 idea´s later, I thought this would be the point where there would finally be boundaries in what we could achieve. But, it was there that we could actually go beyond what was done before.
After we selected the final idea we worked the rest of the summer and I noticed that a lot of people got excited about the direction we were heading towards. Seeing everyone so excited when we pitched our solution during the IBM Extreme Blue Expo, got me motivated to strive for the highest possible. My ambition? Making the 8 o´clock news with our solution. Not only do I want our solution to mark the future of our client, but I also want it to make them to be the front-runner in Europe and be the pioneer of a bigger movement.
As a Systems Engineering, Policy Analysis and Management student at Delft University of Technology, I feel lucky and inspired that I am part of IBM´s Extreme Blue internship this summer and I am ready to take on the challenge.
