This is the craziest thing I’ve seen built in Figma (here is a quick preview, but go try it): “With friends & coworkers visit a petting zoo, play hide and seek, race go karts, and more! Interactive Figmaland is a multiplayer interactive world built with FigJam widgets. Objects will animate when a character gets close to them.”
Toni Gemayel’s project intended to help Figmates create their profiles in the Community.
Now I most definitely want one! See also this cool keycap.
For the @figmadesign maker week I made a custom (hand painted) low profile mechanical keyboard for Figma designers. pic.twitter.com/MSNx2ePHgk

The indispensable project brought to us by Toni Gemayel and Georgia Lee.
A widget that lets you play a Flappy Bird-like game right inside FigJam. Love the Flippy!
For @figmadesign Maker Week I built Flippy Bird - a widget that lets you play a Flappy Bird-like game right inside FigJam, starring our unofficial mascot Flippy!

The potential impact on productivity makes this almost too dangerous to publish to the public 😂 pic.twitter.com/95JZWsMqTy
Cool FigJam widgets made by Bersabel Tadesse and Noah Levin. Hope they’ll be published one day!
for @figmadesign's maker week this week, I helped facilitate 80+ Figmates learning how to build widgets, and worked with @nlevin to build a pixel art maker & drum pad widget. You can learn how to build widgets too! https://t.co/BaEqmvBnaX

The New York Times Crossword from 2/20/2012, playable as a Figma prototype through its Interactive Components feature.
A peek behind the scenes of how Noah Levin created the first take on design system analytics (now available on Orgs plan) during one of the past Maker Weeks.
1/ Many of the features found in Figma today started as Maker Week projects. One of our favorites is a project led by @nlevin– design systems analytics.

It started as a request from a user who wanted an easy way to gauge the overall health of their company’s design system.🧵 pic.twitter.com/7aeCQnqoh1
The theme of this Maker Week is Figmaverse, and Anthony DiSpezio created beautiful branding and design system. To the moon!
It’s Maker Week at Figma!

Twice a year, the entire company is invited to pause day-to-day work and come together for a week of innovation.
This week's theme is Figmaverse (not related to the metaverse). Here’s how @adispezio brought our out-of-this-world branding to life🚀 pic.twitter.com/UKxmhQ88Zz
This is ridiculous, and I absolutely love it! A game plugin built by one of the Figma engineers during their annual Maker Week. Play and create race courses to compete with your friends.
It's Day 1 of our biannual Maker Week @figmadesign! This time we added a meta element and divided the company into four "houses" that are competing against each other in various challenges! First challenge = create a name and crest for your house: pic.twitter.com/unEJMZC7xG

Today's Maker Week challenge @figmadesign was to work in teams to make a mascot out of found objects. (One hour time limit)
— Dylan Field (@zoink) December 3, 2020
We need to pick a winner — hoping the Figma community can help us decide! (RT's appreciated 🙃)

It's Maker Week at @figmadesign, so I made a Variants Pal plugin concept! 👀

Generate missing variants and add labels automatically. ✨ pic.twitter.com/EpztwnDIDy
Sawyer Hood made a plugin that runs a Gameboy emulator inside of Figma and renders the output as vectors to the canvas. Not available in the community yet, but the source is already on GitHub.
For maker week at @figmadesign I really wanted to do something wild, so I made a plugin that runs a gameboy emulator inside of Figma and renders the output as vectors to the canvas. pic.twitter.com/M7up2Gb2a8

A few of us made little virtual desks for @figmadesign's biannual maker week. Since we can no longer express ourselves in an office, we figured this could be a fun alternative to get to know each other.

“Twice a year, we set aside a week for everyone at the company to explore a project outside of their daily responsibilities. Unlike hackathons — which are largely built for engineering and design — Maker Week is for everyone, across teams and skillsets.”
Impressive demo by Thomas Wright.
For #FigmaMakerWeek I put together a time-lapse visualization of the main internal @figmadesign code repository as a largely artistic endeavor, and it turned out pretty well!https://t.co/1Jee9720d1 pic.twitter.com/0iA9lEwqVQ
