Do your best to learn a lot at all projects your on. Then talk to seniors/managers about their projects when you go to lunch/coffee with them and tell them ur on the projects u think would be good. a good staff who is also interested in the projects he/she works on is one of the best things that happen to seniors and managers

Talk to your intern buddy (or whatever it’s called) that you got during the internship and let them know what kinds of projects you’re interested in.
