Well,
Beginner Event 6 looks quite familiar. I've had to do exactly this before, albeit with a different output. Anyway my "entry":
[datetime]$LastBootTime = (Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem).ConvertToDateTime((Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem).LastBootUpTime)
$UpTime = New-TimeSpan -Start $LastBootTime -End (Get-Date)
$Message="The computer "
$Message+=$env:COMPUTERNAME
$Message+=" has been up for "
$Message+=$UpTime.Days
$Message+=" days "
$Message+=$UpTime.Hours
$Message+=" hours "
$Message+=$UpTime.Minutes
$Message+=" minutes, "
$Message+=$UpTime.Seconds
$Message+=" seconds as of "
$Message+=(Get-Date).ToString()
Write-Host $Message

“The only real guidance he provided for the task is, Use WMI.”
You can get everything you need from WMI without having to use $Env:Computername or Get-Date for anything.
Here's the script I submitted for this one:
