During my last internship, I spent the majority of my time working on a project idea I came up with. Apparently it ended up being much more difficult than what the team there was going to come up with, but it was a lot of fun. I learned a lot. Eventually, the summer project became an important feature of their product. It feels great to have a significant contribution as an intern. If you're hiring interns, ask them what they would like to do. It might let them make the most out of your internship.
