The Wing of the SMC has low metalicity, and low content of gas and dust. It provides an ideal nearby laboratory to study star formation and feedback in an environment that resembles the early Universe. We propose a 300 ks Chandra observation of NGC602, a massive star cluster at the edge of a supergiant shell in the Wing. This cluster has a simple morphology and is located in a region of high transparency for X-rays. The Chandra data will help to answer the fundamental questions about the mechanisms that sculpture the largest structures in the ISM, and trigger the formation of stars. This observation will be complemented with data from other NASA Great Observatories HST and Spitzer, and will establish a template for studies of active star formation in external galaxies.
