Else statements are meant to be intended to the same level as their accompanying if statement.
The second issue is that the task ask you specifically to "make an if condition that sets admitted to True if age is 13 or more." notice that there is no mention of printing anything, which is what you are doing in your code. They want you to change the value of the admitted variable.
Here is the solution were I fix those two issues:
admitted = None
if age > 13:
admitted = True # Set admitted to True
else: # Make the else statement be on the level (indentation) as the if statement.
admitted = False # Set admitted to False
I also added comments pointing out the parts of your code that I changed.
