True, False, if, else

I am confused about why this is not working for me, I can't find where I went wrong. Can someone help me and explain where I went wrong?

conditions.py 
admitted = None
age = 13
if age <= 13:
    admitted = True
else
    admitted = False

Looks like you're missing a colon after else.
