Super Home Heroes: Making Sure ALL Homes Are Easy to Use!
Ever wonder if every building is friendly for everyone? Now there's a deadline to make sure they are!
Imagine building a cool new clubhouse, but then your friend in a wheelchair can't get inside because there are steps! That wouldn't be fair, right?

They're talking about "accessibility," which just means making sure everyone, no matter if they use a wheelchair or have trouble seeing, can get around and use the building easily.
