Figma Summer Camp with Miggi
Join us August 3rd through 7th for Figma's first-ever Summer Camp, a virtual program designed for students and educators who want to go deeper with Figma.
What to expect
Over the span of four days, you'll build a series of small, hands-on projects that strengthen different design skills across Figma's product suite. Each day spotlights different skills and various tools, so you'll leave with real work in hand and the confidence to keep creating long after the week wraps. You’ll get the chance to ask questions directly to Figma's Designer Advocate Miguel 'Miggi' Cardona.
What you'll walk away with
Students will walk away with work to turn into strong case studies and portfolio pieces for recruitment. Educators will gain new skills and fresh ideas to bring straight into the classroom, along with a firsthand look at what's newly possible in Figma.
A cohort experience
This is designed as a cohort experience, so you'll be learning alongside a group of fellow students and educators, working in shared files, sharing your progress, and connecting with one another throughout the week.
To support that, we'll be creating a dedicated Slack group for communication and community. We're also limiting the series to roughly 100 students and 50 educators so we can best support everyone taking part.
Choose the session that works for you
To make the information accessible across schedules and time zones, we'll offer two live sessions each day. The content will be the same in both, so you can pick whichever fits your day, or drop into whatever works that morning or afternoon.
Morning session: 9:30–11:00am ET
Afternoon session: 4:00–5:30pm ET
Meet your instructor
