#Maker Week

Interactive Figmaland

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.”

Community 101

Toni Gemayel’s project intended to help Figmates create their profiles in the Community.

Custom mechanical keyboard

Now I most definitely want one! See also this cool keycap.

Figma Memes

The indispensable project brought to us by Toni Gemayel and Georgia Lee.

Flippy Bird

A widget that lets you play a Flappy Bird-like game right inside FigJam. Love the Flippy!

Jam Kit and Pixel Art Maker

Cool FigJam widgets made by Bersabel Tadesse and Noah Levin. Hope they’ll be published one day!

Playable Figma Crossword

The New York Times Crossword from 2/20/2012, playable as a Figma prototype through its Interactive Components feature.

The story of design systems analytics

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.

Figmaverse

The theme of this Maker Week is Figmaverse, and Anthony DiSpezio created beautiful branding and design system. To the moon!

100 Race

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.

Inside Maker Week: more than a hackathon

“Twice a year, Figmates are invited to pause day-to-day work and come together for a week of innovation and connection. Our take on a cross-functional hackathon, Maker Week is an opportunity to take a step back and live our values—thinking big and bold ideas, connecting with one another, and putting our individual stamps on the business, community, and culture we’re collectively building.”

Four competing “houses”

Dylan Field introduces four “houses” on Day 1 of Figma’s biannual Maker Week.

Making a house mascot

Seems like the Haus of Jorts has won this competition!

One Hundred Patterns

Toni Gemayel runs an open design experiment to collaboratively create 100 patterns.

Variants Pal plugin concept

Alex built a plugin concept to automatically generate missing variants and add labels.

Gameboy emulator

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.

Play Asteroids in Figma

Another Maker Week project — a plugin to play Asteroids with friends.

Virtual Office

A fun team exercise to express themselves.

The making of Maker Week

“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.”
