What exactly don't you understand? You need to be specific if
you want specific answers.

Did you try it and it didn't work?
If so show us your code plus any error messages(in full)

Do you know how to define a function that takes an input value?

Do you know how to print a string with border?
The code below is a pretty strong hint!

Do you know how to write a function that does not return anything?

Let's leave the border and other stuff till later.
Focus on one problem at a time...

So can you put those three lines into a function that
takes an input and returns nothing. Lets call it: print_welcome?

So I should call it as

print_welcome("Hello there!")

and it should print out

=======================================================
Hello there!
=======================================================

Show us your best attempt and tell us what went wrong.
Include any error messages in full.
