Workshop on Figma Design
15th October 2025
IoT Club of Dronacharya College of Engineering organized a Workshop on Figma Design on 15th October 2025 under its technical and creative learning initiative to introduce students to the fundamentals of UI/UX design and provide them with hands-on experience using Figma - a popular platform for interface design and prototyping. The event was conducted under the guidance of Prof. Tamanna Seghal, Faculty Coordinator. Students from various departments who were interested in UI/UX and product design enthusiastically participated in the session.
The primary objectives of the workshop were to familiarize students with the principles and importance of UI/UX design, introduce them to Figma’s tools and real-world design workflows, and provide practical exposure to creating user interfaces and prototypes.
During the workshop, the topics were covered in a concise yet engaging format. The session began with an introduction to UI/UX design, highlighting the difference between user interface and user experience, along with examples of good digital design. Participants were then introduced to the Figma interface, learning about frames, layers, and pages while creating their first design file. They explored basic tools, shapes, and layouts, practiced using color palettes and grids, and then designed a simple login UI using auto-layout and interactive elements. Later, they learned about components, variants, and prototyping, followed by a demonstration of collaboration features, such as file sharing and developer handoff. The session concluded with a brief recap and a Q&A interaction.
By the end of the workshop, students had gained a strong understanding of the UI/UX design workflow and were able to create a clean, responsive login screen with functional prototyping. They also learned to collaborate effectively using Figma’s sharing and commenting tools. The workshop significantly boosted participants’ confidence in using design tools and inspired many to explore UI/UX design as a key component of IoT and application development.
The feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive. Students appreciated the clarity of instructions, the engaging teaching style, and the balance between demonstration and practice within the one-hour format. The interactive approach ensured that all queries were addressed promptly, and many participants expressed interest in attending more advanced sessions in the future. The session empowered students to think like designers and understand the importance of user-centric design in technological innovation.
