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.
Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow on Groundhog’s Day, but our own Woody the Woodchuck at Howell Nature Center predicted it will be an early spring in 2025. Whoever is right, keep checking back for updates on Bendix Academy news and events!

Sun or snow, at Bendix Academy we specialize in being ready!
