University - 2027 Summer Games, Systems Engineer Intern - Dayton, OH

The Opportunity:

The Summer Games is an innovative internship program that attracts some of the nation’s best and brightest students. The goal is to develop a breakthrough idea or solution for one of our customer's most pressing, complex, and multidimensional problems while developing valuable technical skills. This competitive and collaborative program attracts thousands of applicants each year. Simulating a real-world startup accelerator environment, the interns are divided into teams, each working on a different challenge project. Throughout the Games, interns receive mentorship from senior leaders, solve problems using Booz Allen’s products and unique engagement models, and leverage the power of collaboration in a team environment.

The summer culminates with a final Challenge Cup competition and presentation to senior leadership. A past winner took the challenge of helping blind individuals navigate by using new technology and developing a business and market penetration plan. Teams have also helped to develop an app that gives military commanders an easy way to track real-time and open-source information about developing situations, including sudden attacks, fighting human trafficking, and even tracking the spread of a disease worldwide.
