What is the immune system, and how does it work?

Join us for an exclusive interview with the star of the show — the immune system itself! In this fun and informative session, we’ll uncover what it does, what it needs to stay healthy, and the daily challenges it faces. Follow our reporter as she journeys through the human body, meeting the organs and cells that keep us protected every day.

The audience will first watch a 21-minute video introducing the immune system and its remarkable defenders. Afterwards, we’ll host an interactive discussion with questions, answers, and exciting prizes.
