What Is A CNC Mill?
The Full Name For This Machine Is: Computer Numerical Control Milling Which Allows The User To Control The Machines Movements Through The Use Of Computer Programs (Like Fusion 360) To Progressively Remove Material In Order To Yield Custom Parts.
What Mill Do We have?
We Use Tormach's PCNC 440
3 Things I Learned
1. The Machine Is Controlled Using Computerized Calculations & Movement
2. There's More Than One Cut-Type When Manufacturing The Part
3. It's Entirely Machine Controlled (I Thought It Had To Have Some Sort Of Human Input Apart From The Object Itself)

What Software Is Used & What Does It Do?
The CNC Mill Uses Fusion 360 Which Allows It To Configure The Part So That The Machine Knows How To Cut It.
What Would I Make?
If I Could make Anything Using The CNC Mill I Would Make A Model Of Wisconsin Because I Like My State I Literally Can't Think Of Anything Else
Summary
In Conclusion: I Learned How To Use Fusion 360 To Make Parts, And Transfer Said Parts To The CNC Mill To Have Them Cut Out
