The FigJam Concept Map tool is designed for educators, students, designers, and collaborative teams who need to visualize relationships between ideas. It's especially useful for teachers planning lessons, students organizing research, and teams brainstorming product features or workflows in a shared, creative space.

Figma’s Concept Map in FigJam is a highly adaptable tool suitable for both individual and group academic projects, including capstone assignments. It supports synchronous and asynchronous collaboration, enabling students and educators to visually organize complex information. Its capabilities include mind mapping, diagramming, visual brainstorming, and concept hierarchy creation through intuitive drag-and-drop elements, AI suggestions, and real-time input. It also works effectively at a foundational level—for example, demonstrating comprehension of a text or lecture by mapping key ideas, sequencing events, or connecting vocabulary concepts with images, links, and videos from the web.

Figma’s FigJam Concept Map tool offers a flexible digital canvas for planning, organizing, brainstorming, reflecting, and presenting, both individually and collaboratively. Users can migrate content from other platforms, such as Jamboard, and take advantage of Figma’s interactive elements and real-time collaboration features. It’s especially powerful in teacher-led contexts, where instructors can collect ideas from the class and build a live, visible concept map via projector or screen share. FigJam enhances visual thinking through drag-and-drop shapes, AI assistance (via Jambot), and media integration, making abstract connections more concrete and engaging.
