FigBuild 2026

FigBuild 2026 was Figma's second annual student design-a-thon, bringing together university students to develop original digital experiences over a single weekend. This year's challenge invited participants to explore the future of human sensory experiences by designing speculative tools that could detect, visualize, enhance, or influence aspects of human perception.

Working collaboratively under a tight deadline, our team developed Aura, a concept responding to the challenge through speculative interaction design. The experience encouraged us to explore emerging technologies, think beyond conventional interfaces, and communicate our ideas through a Figma presentation and prototype.
