About This Activity
Einstein’s Workshop in Burlington is a STEAM-focused camp and learning center that offers a variety of summer and school vacation programs for kids in roughly grades K–8. Their summer camp runs as week-long sessions during summer vacation, with half-day (9 a.m.–12 p.m. or 1–4 p.m.) and full-day options, and themed camps that cover everything from LEGO engineering and robotics to coding, 3D printing, math, and imaginative worlds like Minecraft and Dungeons & Dragons. They also run “summer transition” one-day camps the week before and after the main season, so families whose schools end early or start late can still have coverage.
For school vacations, Einstein’s Workshop offers several layers of camps. STEAM Days are one-day camps held on holidays, professional development days, and early release days, with half and full-day options so you can plug individual days as needed. Over winter break and the February, March, and April school vacations, they run four-day camps Tuesday–Friday plus additional single-day options (e.g., Presidents Day and Patriots Day), again with both half-day and full-day choices. All of these are hands-on STEAM programs designed to keep kids busy and learning when school is out!
Einstein’s Workshop explicitly welcomes children with special needs and learning differences, asking parents to share IEP/504 info so staff can plan appropriate supports—and even offering refunds if, after a good-faith trial, the program turns out not to be a fit.

Ratings & Reviews
What Parents Like
- Multiple reviews describe Einstein’s Workshop as a maker-style playground plus serious STEM classes. One parent calls it “a creative kid’s dream,” noting the space is filled with LEGO tables, K’nex, Zome, Snap Circuits, a 3D printer, and a computer room. Another reviewer enjoys the variety that they offer, from summer camps and school break camps to drop-in extracurricular classes. Parents recognize this as a safe place for making "geeky" cool. (1)
- Another review praises the variety of robotics, Minecraft, CAD/3D printing, and maker activities and says, “What a great place to take kids and get them excited about mathematics, science, engineering and robotics… I wish it was around when I was a kid!” (2)
- Einstein’s Workshop has been voted a Boston Parents Paper “Family Favorite” camp or program for multiple years in a row—2017 through 2025—across categories like STEM and day camps, which indicates strong ongoing parent satisfaction in Greater Boston. (3)
- Employee reviews on Indeed and Glassdoor describe Einstein’s Workshop as an “incredible company to work for” where staff love seeing kids’ curiosity in STEM grow, call the environment “upbeat and exciting,” and say management is kind and supportive. While that’s staff-facing, it usually correlates with a positive, kid-friendly atmosphere for campers. (4, 5)
What Parents Think Could be Improved
- Some reviewers note that the open play area and drop-in experience are better suited for older kids (roughly 6+) or those already into building and STEM tools. (1)
- Another review notes that while the space is safe, well-equipped, and staff are friendly, their younger children didn’t leave feeling especially inspired. The parent wished there were more interactive setups or simple “start-to-finish” examples (ramps, marble runs, try-it robotics stations) so younger kids could see creations in action rather than mostly “do not touch” display builds. (1)
Our Take
Einstein’s Workshop is widely seen as a highly creative, STEM-rich environment where kids who love building, coding, Minecraft, and robotics can thrive—both in summer/vacation camps and year-round classes. Parents who are happiest with it tend to have kids who already show an interest in LEGOs, Minecraft, and tinkering and are old enough to fully engage with the tools and classes. For those children, week-long camps and focused classes can be hugely motivating.
At the same time, there are signals that younger kids or those not naturally drawn to building toys may need more support or structure to get the most out of open play, and that the experience may feel more “nice” than “mind-blowing” for them.
For first timers, try starting with a drop-in session or shorter class, and from there ask the staff which camp themes best fit your child’s age and experience. That way, you can match the strong STEM reputation and enthusiastic reviews with the particular temperament and interests of your kid—which is where camps like this really shine.
