As an intern at HP, apart from my usual projects, I took part in a lot of recreational activities, such as team building events, team lunches, Employee Appreciation Day celebrations and more.

A: Undoubtedly, the Sprocket! With everything becoming so digital, photo printing has become a thing of the past. Nowadays, pictures just lie around somewhere lost in the phone gallery. However, with the invention of the Sprocket, HP has reinvented photo printing. Using the pocket-sized instant photo printer, we can now print pictures on the go from our phones. It has changed the way we share memories. Summer Intern Profile 75
