Summary
McPherson College students are launching EcoPyramid, an educational card game, nationwide through a Kickstarter campaign to fund large-scale production and retail distribution. Created in a spring 2025 Stewardship Seminar led by biology professor Dustin Wilgers, the game models ecosystem structures and has already earned a $10,000 Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks grant to reach all Kansas school districts. Student involvement spans biology, business, accounting, graphic design, and teacher education. EcoPyramid features four ecosystem decks and strategy-based gameplay. The campaign seeks $2,300, with preorders shipping in early February. The project emphasizes experiential learning, collaboration, and real-world entrepreneurship for college students.
