#Maker Week
Making a house mascot
Today's Maker Week challenge @figmadesign was to work in teams to make a mascot out of found objects. (One hour time limit)

We need to pick a winner — hoping the Figma community can help us decide! (RT's appreciated 🙃)

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.
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

Four competing “houses”
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

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.”
A time-lapse visualization of the main internal Figma code repository
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

Web Cards Plugin
Noah Levin built his first plugin for turning URLs into little cards. Great for organizing shopping inspiration and visually including relevant links to the project. Now waiting for their API to support links.
Monument Valley level recreation with components and Auto-Layout
The link to a community project is in the replies.
Impressive how powerful a design tool can be🚀

Even though Figma is not designed for this, I was able to recreate one level from Monument Valley✨
Components and Auto Layout helped A LOT!

Figma In Quarantine: The Musical
Twice yearly Figma holds a Maker Week, where the team gets the chance to work on whatever project they want. This epic musical takes the cake this time!
