Kaden Borseth is a Learning Program Specialist at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute. They develop and deliver interactive educational experiences focused on empathy and conservation, both virtually and in-person. While they love all the amazing animals at the Zoo, their two favorites are naked mole rats and salamanders.

The National Zoo education team created an interactive, virtual field trip experience for 600 D.C. Public Schools kindergarteners to learn more about rainforest habitats, connecting to a children’s book they had read together. Here, the facilitator introduces students to a rainforest resident, the roseate spoonbill. (Smithsonian’s National Zoo)
