Ever wondered what it means to build a space where generations
learn the mechanical world together?

Bendix Academy invites you to stop by and discover just that! Our upcoming Open House is a casual, drop-in opportunity to explore our unique approach to hands-on education and mentoring. Meet our dedicated mentors, chat with current students, board members, and other visitors to see how we’re inspiring the next generation of toolmen!!

Whether you stay for 20 minutes or two hours, you’ll get an inside look at the tools, talent, and teaching that make Bendix Academy a place like no other!

Teaching Toolmanship… How do we do it?

Pictures and videos tell some of the story, but nothing beats stopping by to see for yourself.

Visit Bendix Academy’s Spring 2025 Open House to find out how we are teaching Toolmanship to youth as part of career choices in the skilled trades or engineering, or who just want to improve their mechanical self-sufficiency.

Drop in to see our workshop and meet our folks.

Share enthusiasm with our Founder, Todd Trainor, who will tell you more about Bendix Academy’s mission and vision, as well as some of our students, families, mentors, and other volunteers, who will show you the projects they work on and why this is a valuable part of their lives.

You will be amazed!

EVENT IS FREE but help us estimate how many light refreshments to provide by letting us know how many are coming in your group. Please either submit this brief form or indicate that you are “Going” on our Facebook Event.

Countdown to your visit to Bendix Academy!

Stanley Cup Stars Winning Small Town Hearts

After the game everyone moved from the Ice Den in Howell to Chemung Hills in Brighton to prepare for food and festivities while casting bids on the wonderful items for auction, including a Chris Osgood Autographed Stanley Cup, signed memorabilia, gift baskets, vacation venues, and the super-exciting 2025 Yamaha VX Deluxe Waverunner!

We loved the venue. We loved the food. But most of all, we loved meeting so many people who genuinely wanted to learn about our mission and support the work we do. The room was filled with generosity — not just in dollars, but in time, passion, and kindness.

Well Saints Slap-Shot It Out of the Rink!

With gratitude and high stick taps, the Tool-Team at Bendix Academy
