tl;dr Apply today for our Summer 2013 Software Engineering Internship!

Summer is one of our favorite times of the year since hundreds of technical interns join us in our offices around North America. This year over 300 schools were represented in our technical intern program and with over 1,000 technical interns, there was never a dull moment. They fuel our innovative ecosystem and their energy is truly contagious! Our interns explore new ideas, accelerate the launch of new product features, and are big contributors to Google. Technical interns are embedded in every major engineering team where their impact is unconstrained by titles. They have the freedom to attend tech talks by Peter Norvig, take classes on technologies such as AppEngine and MapReduce, or unwind with a game of ping pong.

One of the things we hear the most is how much interns love the impact they can have while at Google; oftentimes a single line of code from their project can affect millions of users around the world. As one intern told us “It’s extremely rewarding to point out a feature on the live product and say (as modestly as possible), ‘Yeah, I did that.’” To give you an inside look into some of the projects our interns have recently worked on, we’ll be launching an “Interns Making an Impact” blog series over the next few weeks. We’ll also be hosting a Hangout On Air from the Google Students page on Google+, where you can hear from the interns and hosts firsthand about what the technical internship program at Google is like.

If you want to do cool things that matter, apply here for our Summer 2013 Software Engineering Internship. This role is available in our offices throughout North America. We’ll be posting other technical internship roles at google.com/students/intern in the next month or so, including User Experience, Hardware, and other opportunities -- so stay tuned!
