One way for a mentor to provide opportunities for ownership and agency is to be strategic in when to be directive and when to let the intern grapple and make mistakes. Also, after deciding upon a focal STEM practice, the mentor can plan out ways to make sure that the intern has ownership over using the practice. For example, if the STEM practice is \u201cprototyping,\u201d the mentor can make sure to let the intern have a lot of freedom to make choices around this aspect of the project, while monitoring and nudging if needed.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;My Books&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;gcid-545c17f1-4e53-478d-9e2b-03daafc524a2&#8243; da_disable_devices=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-545c17f1-4e53-478d-9e2b-03daafc524a2%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}&#8221; da_is_popup=&#8221;off&#8221; da_exit_intent=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_close=&#8221;on&#8221; da_alt_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_dark_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_not_modal=&#8221;on&#8221; da_is_singular=&#8221;off&#8221; da_with_loader=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_shadow=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_heading title=&#8221;Interactions that support ownership and agency&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;_initial&#8221; title_level=&#8221;h2&#8243; title_font=&#8221;Sedan||||||||&#8221; title_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; title_font_size=&#8221;52px&#8221; title_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||10px||false|false&#8221; title_font_size_tablet=&#8221;32px&#8221; title_font_size_phone=&#8221;20px&#8221; title_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text quote_border_color=&#8221;#2f4858&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#b14d38&#8243; quote_font=&#8221;Sedan||||||||&#8221; quote_text_color=&#8221;#2f4858&#8243; quote_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; quote_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Sedan||||||||&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;72px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Sedan||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;52px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Sedan||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;Sedan||||||||&#8221; header_4_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_4_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; header_5_font=&#8221;Sedan||||||||&#8221; header_5_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_5_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;Inter|700|||||||&#8221; header_6_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; quote_font_size_tablet=&#8221;16px&#8221; quote_font_size_phone=&#8221;15px&#8221; quote_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_font_size_tablet=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_font_size_phone=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_3_font_size_tablet=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_3_font_size_phone=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_3_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_4_font_size_tablet=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_4_font_size_phone=&#8221;15px&#8221; header_4_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_5_font_size_tablet=&#8221;15px&#8221; header_5_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; header_5_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_6_font_size_tablet=&#8221;14px&#8221; header_6_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; header_6_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The collective effects of many small interactions between a mentor and intern can also have a significant impact on ownership and agency.
