FigJam is free for educators, students, and districts—don’t miss the chance to see how it can support learning in your classroom!

Implementing FigJam in the classroom can transform student collaboration, but it rarely goes perfectly the first time. In this session, we’ll share the wins, the missteps, and the “we won’t do that again” moments that taught us the most.

From classroom management surprises to FigJam flops and fails, you'll learn practical strategies for introducing FigJam in a way that feels purposeful, organized, and aligned to your students' needs. Explore how to scaffold collaboration from independent activities to partner work, small groups, and whole-class experiences, and leave with a clear plan for launching FigJam with confidence and setting students up for success from day one.

Start the school year by building connection, belonging, and engagement from day one. In this session, you'll explore five ready-to-use FigJam templates designed to help students get to know one another, share their voices, and build a positive classroom community during the first weeks of school. Discover simple, low-prep activities that do the heavy lifting—saving you time while creating meaningful opportunities for collaboration and participation. You'll leave with practical strategies, classroom-ready resources, and fresh ideas for making every student feel seen, connected, and excited to learn.

Small group work doesn’t have to be chaotic—or quiet. Learn how to use FigJam to design structured, engaging, and genuinely collaborative group experiences where every student has a role and a voice. You’ll walk away with simple, ready-to-use strategies to organize workflow, boost participation, and make group work actually work.

Figma design is the tool behind the apps your students use every day, and it's free for your classroom. In this session, we'll break down what Figma design is and how you can use Figma's free tools and curriculum to get your middle and high school students designing like professionals in just a few weeks.

If you’re a middle or high school educator looking to bring powerful, free, industry-leading tools into your classroom, this session is for you.

Reimagine how students experience thematic learning. Use FigJam to design connected, collaborative spaces where ideas, subjects, and creativity come together in one engaging digital environment.

Ever wonder how the apps on your phone got designed before a single line of code was written? In this session, we’ll show you how middle and high school students can design an app prototype (a realistic, clickable model of a digital product) using Figma Design.

You’ll get a closer look at the core workflows students need to start creating in Figma, including working with frames, adding visual elements, organizing screens, and connecting designs into an interactive prototype. We’ll also include a live volunteer collaboration moment so you can see exactly what it looks like when students build together in real time.

Walk away with a clear understanding of how prototyping works in Figma, what students can create with just a few foundational skills, and how to guide your class through their first digital product design project.

In this workshop we will cover tips and tricks for prototyping animations using Figma's new motion tools. We will walk through how to create designs and smart animate them in the all-in-one expressive canvas.

You’ve seen what Figma is and how students can use it to build their first clickable prototype. Now it’s time to bring it all into your classroom.

In this session, we’ll walk through an educator’s playbook for running a Figma project from start to finish. You’ll learn how to introduce Figma to students, set up files and project spaces, support collaboration, give feedback, and help students move from first idea to final presentation.

We’ll also share practical workflows, shortcuts, and classroom-friendly tips that make Figma easier to teach, easier to manage, and easier for students to use with confidence.

Walk away with a clear plan for launching your first Figma project, plus time-saving strategies for organizing student work, managing collaboration, and helping students create like real-world design teams.

When students are given a real tool and a real process, something shifts. They stop feeling like they're just doing a school project and start feeling like actual makers and contributors.

In this session, 3 educators will share how they brought Figma Design into their middle and high school classrooms — and how their students used it to build real digital products the same way professionals do. You’ll hear directly from teachers about what they tried, what worked, what surprised them, and how Figma helped students collaborate, problem-solve, and share their ideas in new ways.

Walk away with practical inspiration from real classrooms, examples of student projects, and ideas you can adapt for your own students, whether you’re just getting started with Figma or looking for fresh ways to take your next classroom project further.

In this session, we'll demo how to turn student projects into portfolio-ready work and assess design thinking along the way. You'll see how to set up Figma files that support peer critique and teacher feedback — using sections and pages to organize work, comments to guide meaningful feedback, and version history to capture iteration and growth.

Walk away with practical critique protocols, feedback workflows that improve student work, and ideas for helping students present their designs like real-world design teams — whether they're building toward a class assignment, a showcase, or their next big idea.

Learn how to design interactive FigJam experiences that capture student attention and support deeper learning. Explore practical ways to blend collaboration, creativity, and structure into your lessons.

In this workshop we will explore how to build consistent and scalable design systems using typography, variables, and modes in Figma. We will cover how to define and apply type styles, set up variables, and use modes to manage themes like light and dark across your designs.

The first five minutes can make—or break—your entire lesson. Learn how to use FigJam to create engaging, curiosity-sparking bell ringers that get students thinking, talking, and ready to learn from the start. Walk away with quick, energizing ideas to hook attention and set the tone for deeper learning.
