How to make fueling semi-trucks with used cooking oil not only an environmentally-friendly business idea, but also a profitable one had high school students Jacob Spangler and Peyton Oswald doing some extensive research.

Jacob and Peyton would make a case for their business idea at a Shark Tank presentation and competition at the end of the week with prizes going to the winner.
Those attending the Academy were also introduced to discussions on international business, finance, communication, leadership development, marketing, sport management and entrepreneurship.
