VIEWER APP

In 2019, three students from the Academy for the Arts, Science and Technology created an app that shows grave sites and who’s buried where.  It’s called the Ocean Woods Cemetery Viewer.  Click on one of the grave site dots and see expanded information or search for a deceased person’s name, birth date or death date.  Each point displayed on the map contains information and a photo of the grave site.  The app is a work in progress.  It began as an internship for a Senior Mastery project, and the goal is to continue building it in phases with each Academy Arts, Sciences and Technology senior class.   The project is a partnership between the school and the City of Myrtle Beach to allow students to apply in-class lessons to real-world situations.
