Your header element is fine, the problem here lies in your title element in the head section of your document. You are missing the forward slash in the closing title tag.
You have:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title><title><!-- notice there is no forward slash in your closing title tag! -->
</head>
<body>
<header></header>
<section></section>
<footer></footer>
</body>
</html>
You want:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title></title><!-- the forward slash has been added to the closing title tag -->
</head>
<body>
<header></header>
<section></section>
<footer></footer>
</body>
</html>
Unfortunately, the hints are not always helpful or correct in these challenges when there is an error, so the first thing you'll usually want to do is comb over every piece of your code to make sure there are no spelling or syntax errors, and that you have not removed, added, or changed ANYTHING that the challenge didn't specifically instruct you to.
Add that forward slash to your closing title tag, and you'll be good to go! Mistakes like this are easy to make and even harder to spot, but your code looks great otherwise! Happy coding!

The tag itself looks good. Try closing the title tag and see if that helps your code pass. Right now you have two opening title tags.
Good luck!
