AutoDesk/Other Software

[joemost]

Hey there guys, Hopefully this is the right place to put this..
Obviously using Inventor a lot of Robot design this year I didn't know if you guys had any advice
I wanna go to school for either Mechanical or Electrical Engineering Next year (most likely Mechanical however). I want to get better with Inventor, and any other software I would possibly be using (I have solidworks as well as any other AutoDesk software available to me)

Does anyone have any suggestions? I know I could watch tutorials, But I wasn't sure if there were competitions, or some sort of events or other good ways of really getting ahead with the software.

Thanks so much!
