About the challenge

​The Figma Make-a-thon is a 24-hour, in-person designathon where creativity meets functionality. Participants will design a product in Figma and then bring it to life using Figma Make or Figma MCP Server, new tools that allow you to turn your designs into real, working products with integrations like Supabase and agents in Cursor or VSCode.

​Don't have design or dev experience? Don't worry! We're running workshops and offering mentorship throughout the make-a-thon. This is the perfect place to explore the world of UI/UX design and front-end development!

​Spend the day ideating, prototyping, and building something amazing with the latest Figma tools. Whether you’re a designer, developer, or just curious about making ideas real, this is your chance to explore the next AI powered era of design-to-development.
