The challenge states that you should create key value pairs ('name' and 'topic') in your answers you are settings as keys student and course. If you change your key names then you are on good track, just one more thing.
Note that the challenge indicated that you must assign the dictionary to a variable student and in your solution you are assign the dictionary to the variable demo_dict.
Hope it helps!

For others who got stuck on this:
"""
{"key": "value", "key": "value"}
student = {'name':'2', 'topic': 'python'}
