Run fun and engaging workshops with FigJam
summary
Hands-on guide to running lively workshops using FigJam features: live timers for strict pacing, spotlighting to follow a presenter, cursor chat, and stamps + emoji reactions for quick engagement. Demonstrates marker (M), stickers, sticky notes (S), shapes (O/R), sessions for organizing activities, and version history to restore deleted work. Runs a one-minute Crazy 8s logo doodle and a collaborative “universe” drawing — participants across cities actively contribute, and the exercises succeed.
