Education in Nigeria has always been more than just classrooms, lectures, and exams. It is communities, conversations, opportunities, and the daily struggle to stay organized.
But for millions of students, these pieces are scattered across different platforms.
Important school updates get missed.
Course materials are buried in WhatsApp groups.
Timetables are confusing screenshots.
Students struggle to collaborate effectively.
And finding the right academic resources often feels like a search mission.
That is why i built EduConnect for the Figma Config Makeathon
A modern education super app designed to bring the entire student experience into one connected ecosystem.
EduConnect is built for Nigerian students across Secondary Schools, Universities, Polytechnics, and Colleges of Education , giving every student a smarter way to learn, connect, and grow.
A Social Network Built for Students
EduConnect comes with an education focused social feed where students can stay updated with:
• School announcements
• Campus events
• Education news
• Examination updates
• Scholarships
• Learning opportunities
Think of it as a digital campus where every student has a voice.
🎓 Personalized Student Experience
Every student gets an experience built around them.
During onboarding, students select their education level, institution, class level, and interests.
This allows EduConnect to deliver relevant updates instead of overwhelming users with information they don't need.
A secondary school student gets SSCE focused resources.
A university student gets institution-specific updates.
Every experience feels personal.
📚 The Future of Lecture Management
For higher institution students, EduConnect transforms the way classmates collaborate.
Students can create or join Lecture Rooms , private academic spaces for their classes.
A course representative can create a room, add courses, invite classmates, and organize their entire academic workflow.
Inside each course space, students can:
✅ Access course materials
✅ Upload PDFs, slides, documents, and notes
✅ Add lecturer information
✅ Share resources with classmates
No more searching through endless chat messages for that one important document.
🤖 AI-Powered Academic Organization
EduConnect uses AI to make learning easier.
Students can upload handwritten notes, and AI converts them into clean, structured, readable documents.
Students can also upload timetable images, and AI automatically extracts courses, dates, and schedules , turning a messy screenshot into an organized academic calendar.
Your timetable becomes interactive.
Your notes become searchable.
Your learning becomes smarter.
📖 Built for Secondary School Students Too
Secondary students get a personalized study companion.
They can:
• Track subjects
• Organize notes
• Monitor study progress
• Access past questions
• Prepare better for exams like WAEC, NECO, and JAMB
EduConnect helps students build better study habits early.
The future of education is not just about having more information.
It is about having the right information, at the right time, in the right place.
EduConnect is building that future , a connected academic ecosystem where every student can learn smarter, collaborate faster, and achieve more.
This is our vision.
This is EduConnect built inside Figma with Figma Make

SPOT THE BOT, a gallery game about telling human creativity from a machine's
The problem. AI can now create almost anything, and for designers that's not abstract. The fear is that taste, judgment, the human "tell" in a piece of work no longer counts for anything. So instead of arguing about it, we made a game out of it.
The idea. Everyone gets the same prompt ("give beige a personality," "what keeps you up at 3am"), the same fixed kit of pieces, and 30 seconds. So does an AI. Every tile lands on a gallery wall, and players vote: which one is the bot? Then comes the reveal: who fooled you, and who you fooled. The constraint is the whole point. When everyone has identical pieces, the only thing separating the tiles is taste, wit, and choice, the human stuff. Right now the bot fools 72% of players, and every round feeds that number: a live, accumulating measure of where human judgment still holds the line.
The build & workflow. Designed and built end to end in the Figma ecosystem: the editor, the real-time multiplayer rounds (MAKE, VOTE, REVEAL), and the MUSEUM of every player-made tile. The asset kits (risograph, torn paper, duct tape, liquid metal, and more) were generated with Weavy.ai.
It's recursive by design: a game about spotting machine-made art, built with the machine's own creative tools. The medium is the argument.

Memento - OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) App
I built Memento for the #ConfigMakeathon using #FigmaMake, #FigmaMCP, and #Cursor.
The problem I wanted to solve : Millions of people worldwide live with OCD and anxiety and as someone touched by it, I know the struggle daily. Checking things (like closing windows or turning off lights) causes intense stress and repetitive doubts. Most tools don't help your brain remember the action, so I wanted to make the experience feel mindful, visual, and safe.
In Memento, you cannot just tap to complete a task. You must press and hold for 3 seconds. This UX choice forces mindfulness and anchors your brain to the action.
The project includes:
- 3-Second Verification: Press and hold to anchor your brain and remember the action.
- Meditation & Shortcuts: Quick access to "SOS Calm" to reduce anxiety instantly.
- My Victories: A dedicated space to track your success and feel safe.
- Visual & Audio Proof: Live photo and instant voice recording for peace of mind.
- Calming Visual Design: A clean, high-contrast palette with soft greys and dark green to banish stressful colors (like red) and minimize anxiety.
The goal was to keep the interface clean and focused, while adding just enough feedback to make the user feel completely safe and calm.

Good work!
For the #ConfigMakeathon, I built Rollroom 🎲
A desktop-only backgammon web app where you can create a room, share one link, play live 1v1, chat in real time, use voice commands, or play against a bot.
I built it with Figma Make, using Figma’s AI workflow to move from interface design to a working interactive prototype.
The idea: make a classic board game instantly playable online, without accounts, setup, or friction.
