for homeschool families.

Mechanical literacy is a missing skill in modern education. Cullinan covers it K-12: from naming tools in kindergarten to diagnosing engine problems with an OBD-II scanner in high school.

What it covers

From kindergarten through senior year.

  • K-1: tool ID, kitchen + workshop safety, simple lever + wheel work
  • 2-3: simple machines, basic hand tools
  • 4-7: four-stroke engine theory, fuel + electrical + cooling systems
  • 8-12: drivetrain, brakes, suspension, OBD-II, EVs + hybrids
The Cullinan approach

Visual + hands-on. Diagrams the kid can label, video walkthroughs of real systems, and end-of-unit projects that build something (or take something apart). Safety is gated by age — power tools and engine work require parent sign-off.

Why it matters

A kid who can do their own oil change, diagnose a check-engine light, and understand how their car actually works has saved themselves $20K+ over a lifetime in mechanic bills.
