AI Summary

I am a first-year student majoring in Mechanical Engineering and Psychology. Over the past two weeks, I have been self-learning SolidWorks in hopes of getting my certification before the Engineering Career Fair on September 30th and October 1st. In high school, I learned Onshape during my senior year in order to compete for my school's Science Olympiad team, where I ended up placing 10th in the state. I heard from a second-year student that they give out vouchers that would make it free, and I was wondering how I would be able to get one.
