I ran your code and got this error:

Bummer! is your first argument '/hello'?

It tells you that your first argument should be /hello, not Hello/. Fix that and you pass the first part of the challenge. The second part is actually the echo "Hello There" line you already have.

By the way, welcome to Treehouse. You might find this course frustrating if you are not knowledgeable about PHP. If you are, great and enjoy. Otherwise, you may find the PHP Development track a good basis for understanding the Slim course work. I know that I would have have understood that course without having first taken the PHP track.
