IDL Debate Hackathon'25

About the challenge Welcome to the IDL Debate Open Hackathon 2025, organized by Agentix, IIT Delhi. This pan-India hackathon aims to bridge the worlds of technology and competitive debating, inviting developers to create innovative solutions that address real challenges in the debating ecosystem. Competitive debating is a structured form of argumentation where teams argue for and against a given motion. It fosters critical thinking, persuasive communication, and logical reasoning—skills highly valued in academia and professional environments alike. However, the learning curve can be steep, and many aspects of debate organization, training, and adjudication can benefit from technological innovation. This hackathon offers participants the opportunity to develop solutions that will revolutionize how students learn debating, how debates are judged, how practice sessions are conducted, and how tournaments are managed. Your contributions could potentially impact millions of debaters across India and beyond. Get started
