How I got started with Figma: Going 0 to 100
summary
Two educators map concrete steps for classroom Figma adoption: verify accounts at figma.com/education, set up classes by period, and use community remixable templates to build scaffolded assignments. They show a five‑step teacher onboarding (playful learning, personal projects, community, blogs/courses, practice) and classroom projects that scale from a hamburger‑menu prototype to a loading‑bar animation, student portfolios, FigJam research boards, and a working Instagram‑style prototype for campus issues.
