Phone holder
At home, I was not able to use Inventor, the software we use in school. Instead, I worked using Tinkercad, an application made by the same company, Autodesk. But the plan was to create a phone stand, that kept the phone in place when help upright, but there is also a lower level available to lay it horizontally.
Using Tinkercad
Tinkercad is, simply put, a very simple form of Inventor. It has similar features, but it has only the basics, fortunately it had the tools I needed. My phone holder is there to keep the phone in one position at all times, it will fit in like a little pocket, with a hole in the bottom for the charging cable. This will be prioritized for video calls like FaceTime. There is a little extension o the bottom with a little wedge on the end for an option to lay the phone horizontally to watch videos.

What I Learned...
During this rotation, I learned that it is not a good idea to push off this project until the last minute. It is also a good idea to have ideas before you start out, I found it difficult to make my project due to lack of ideas. I also found it very hard to not have people around me to help. I thrive on being around people sometimes and it feels weird. I also miss taking pictures of Kai holding my projects.
