🚀 Figma Make-a-thon

One day. One tool. Endless ways to Make.

We’re bringing Figma Make to the stage with the very first Make-a-thon 🎉.
Think design jam meets hackathon: curious teams, fresh ideas, and prototypes built in a single day.

👥 Who’s joining

• 40–50 makers (designers, devs, dreamers, doers)

• Teams of 3–5 people

• Mentors on rotation (UX, AI, JS pros)

• Jury of industry voices + special guests 👀
  

🎯 Topics & Challenges

We’re keeping the prompts under wraps for now (a little suspense never hurt 😉). Expect a mix of playful explorations and industry-ready use cases — designed to get you thinking, making, and having fun along the way.

• Go Open → “AI app for…”

• Pick a Track →

  • Accessibility with AI → more inclusive digital products

  • AI for Sustainability → greener UX, lighter digital footprint

  • Delight & Fun → playful AI-powered experiences & micro-interactions

Hint: it’ll be a playground for creativity — from practical hacks to pure delight.

🕹 Format, Flow & Vibe

Collaborative, fast-paced, and just the right amount of experimental. A full day of building, testing, sharing, and cheering each other on.
