There are several ways to do this, but string formatting is
probably best:

age = input("{} how old are you? ".format(Studentname))

OR

age = input("%s how old are you? " % StudentName)

Or even, in recent pythons(post 3.6):

age = input(f"{StudentName} how old are you? ")

The last one is preferred if you don't have to support older versions.
