Looks like you missed a part of the syntax on your first line. The code editor needs the full syntax.

You wrote...

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
@media (max-width: 1020px){

..and the editor is looking for...

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
 @media screen and (max-width: 1020px){

With out the screen part the querie doesn't know what type of media it's looking for. It could be anything! Declaring what the querie is looking for becomes important for not just targeting screen sizes but also for print. Which if I remember right is covered later.
