I believe the step you are stuck on is 3. It's asking for you to 'place the content between the header and footer inside an element that groups together related sections of content.' You are correct that this is the <section> tag, but you have the opening and closing tags at the wrong spots.
You will want to put the opening <section> tag just AFTER the closing header tag. With that, you will want to put the closing </section> tag just BEFORE the opening footer tag. Doing so will put what's between the Header and Footer in it's own Section.
Please let me know if you need further assistance. :)

element starts inside the header
, but the header
ends before the section
does.
Child elements must be completely inside their container (or "parent element").
