Abstract	In a webinar series called the Wild Side of STEAM, educators at the Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute introduce young viewers to these lesser-known or unusual careers. The free webinar series, launched in October 2020, informs viewers about the variety of careers available in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM)--all within the unique setting of a zoo. While targeted to middle school students, the series is available to anyone interested in learning about and engaging with STEAM careers. In each episode of the webinar, students learn about a different Zoo career, engage with staff through polls and real-time questions in the webinar Q&A, and practice a relevant part of the career in a post-webinar wrap-up activity. Featured careers included a web developer, veterinary technician, videographer, population biologist, landscape architect, veterinary pathologist, horticulturist, and avian ecologist. (ERIC).
