Treehouse TeacherHey there Liz Garcia !
There was some maintenance going on with the challenges yesterday and they were temporarily not working, so it probably wasn't your code. It was only down for a few minutes though and everything should be all back to normal. Go ahead and git it another try if you haven't yet
Sorry for the inconvenience!
