Most star formation in the universe occurs at low metallicity. Yet most star formation studies focus on nearby, high metallicity Galactic regions for which young stellar objects (YSOs) can be resolved and studied in detail. The nearby Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) offer a fantastic opportunity to investigate, on both large (galactic; kpc) and small (individual YSO; sub-parsec) scales, if and how the process of star formation changes with metallicity. The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on JWST will be a powerful probe of this and other extragalactic star formation. In this poster, we present example programs that utilize the spectroscopic and photometric imaging capabilities of MIRI to investigate star formation in the Magellanic Clouds. These example programs build upon recently discovered YSOs in the LMC and SMC with the Spitzer-SAGE and Herschel-HERITAGE surveys. This work is support by NASA NAG5-12595.
