How to prepare for S&T internship what will i be expected to do on the internship

Going to intern at a BB in London, I’ve been trying to get ahead and understand what actually makes a strong intern. I’ve heard from a few people that it’s less about knowing everything and more about being curious. I’ve just finished a project looking at crack spreads over the last few years to get a feel for how different products move, and I’m now looking to explore rates next.

If you've done an S&T internship or work on the desk, I’d love to hear what helped you prepare or what kind of stuff interns actually get involved with day to day
