Capstone Project
The Bank Interdisciplinary Experience (BIE) capstone project gives interns an opportunity to use their learned skills on real issues with a team of other interns. You will use knowledge gained during the summer from both workshops and on-the-job experiences. Intern teams present the project solution at the end of the summer to a panel of judges composed of St. Louis Fed leaders. Judges evaluate each presentation based upon a consistent rubric. The winning team is announced at the BIE reception and awards ceremony.

Diversity isn’t just talked about at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis; it’s practiced in every area of our organization. We believe that our differences are what make us stronger.
Whether it’s a product like the Bank’s popular FRED® database, which provides economic data from around the globe, or finding a way to introduce sustainable practices—like recycling cash shreds into mulch—innovative ideas are encouraged and implemented every day at the St. Louis Fed.
