The Danville Independent Schools’ STEAM camp (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) ended its two-week session on Thursday.

Students in kindergarten through eighth grade who are enrolled in the Danville schools were eligible to attend the free camp, which ran from 8 a.m. to noon Monday through Thursday.

This year, students in grades fourth through eighth could select two classes each week, while the younger students got to rotate through all of the classes. Some of the classes for the older students included cooking, astronomy, musical theater, fitness, hydrology, electrical principles and eatable science experiments.

Younger students learned about aviation, water science, obstacle courses, arts and crafts and math games.
