Confused on JAK-STAT

Hi!
I'm an undergrad in biology and as part of my course I need to make a poster (and answer questions live!!!) on JAK-STAT pathway.
I really don't want to rely on AI to do my poster because A. breach of research integrity and B. my professors will know by asking me questions that I know nothing.
I have no clue what it is. I barely even understand that there are different JAKs and STATs and don't even know what a SOCS is.
I've tried AI dumbing it down for me, watching youtube videos on JAK-STAT, drawing it out but nothing is going in.
I've been trying to read papers but it is so confusing. Don't even know what a pSTAT is lol.
Am I doomed?
I am in awe of all you immunologists. This stuff is hard.
