This year's Make-a-thon winners offer new ways to connect, reflect, and play through software.

Figma is a collaborative interface design tool that enables teams to create, prototype, and collaborate on digital designs in real-time. From their blog, readers can learn about user interface design, design systems, and prototyping techniques. With documentation, tutorials, and design resources, Figma empowers designers and developers to create beautiful and functional user experiences.

Figma's Make-a-thon winners showcase six creative projects built with Figma Make, each reimagining how users interact with software. Winners include Common Thread (a multiplayer embroidery sampler), Pucker (facial gesture navigation), Duet Booth (asynchronous remote photo booth), Airwwave (gesture-controlled ambient music instrument), an interactive 16-bit Tokyo world, and Reframe (a screenshot presentation tool). All were built rapidly by non-engineers using Figma Make as an AI-assisted prototyping collaborator, with $100,000 in prizes awarded total.
