There are three mistakes in your code:
You have written if with a capital I, most programming languages (including python) are case-sensitive, this means that If, if and iF are not considered to be the same word, and getting the capitalization right when using keywords like if is essential.
The greater or equal to operator is: ">=" not "=>" the order of the symbols matter.
When you use double quotes you are telling Python to treat your text as a string value, so you are setting admitted  equal to a string with the text "True", which is different from the boolean value True, boolean values are typed without quotes, just like numbers and variables.
Fixing those three mistakes results in this code:
```python
admitted = None
if age >= 13:
    admitted = True
```
Which is the solution to the first task of the challenge.

Small syntax changes are needed in your code. You are wanting greater than or equals to, have a look at the documentation (https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html) for what the proper comparison operator is for that comparison. Also, should you be setting admitted to a string?
Post back if you are still stuck.
Happy coding,
