Description
For this project, we were tasked with designing a toy car. This project had many restraints, such as the car having to be designed in at least 2 main parts, fit inside a 4"x3"x2" shipping box, and it had to be completed in less than a week. This project is mainly designed to help us students re-familiarize ourselves with Inventor, since its been over 2 years since we have really used it.

Conclusion
When we first got this project, I was expecting it to be a nice calm project to help us adjust with Inventor again. Little did I know how much I had truly forgotten about Inventor. My skills were very rusty, and the program was very overwhelming at first. Little by little did little tricks come back to me. I first remembered how to make a simple sketch and extrude it to make a 3D part, use the fillet tool, and hollow out the part. It took some help from my peers to remember a lot of the little features used to add little details to the different parts, and by the time I really remembered how to use it we only had a few days left on the project. I didn't really learn any new features of Inventor, but I definitely re-learned a lot of the program. Overall, I am satisfied with the product Jacob and I created in the time constraints we were given.
