The Hive supported\u00a0four 5C students who were awarded innovation and design internships with companies and organizations out in the world, who needed additional funding for living, travel, food, and other miscellaneous expenses. In return, we asked them to document and reflect on their experience, sharing what they gained from their roles in the form of a written blog.<\/p>\n

Learn more from them about their internship experiences with their partner companies, their personal and professional growth, and the envisioned real-world impact of their work in their individual blog posts.<\/p>\n
