Your instance has the wrong name. The instructions said to "make an instance of your class named me." But this instance is named "new_instance" instead. Also, the code outside the function should not be indented.

Then, the other part of the task is to "print() out the name attribute of your instance." So you'll need a "print" statement that accesses the "name" attribute of the instance. There won't be any method to call.
