Tinkercad
We were supposed to use a program called inventor, but not being at school, we only had our chromebooks. Because of this, we had to use a different program called Tinkercad. Tinkercad is a free, online 3D modeling program that we can use on the chromebooks. It is pretty easy to use and understand.

What I learned:
During the process of drawing the widgets and making them on Tinker cad, I learned that you have to pay a lot of attention to how you are drawing them and make sure that every measurement and line is perfect because it messes up all of the other lines and sides, and sometimes it is hard to go back and fix them. Also Tinker cad was kind of touchy, so I had to make sure I did each step perfectly.
