What is IGNITION?
IGNITION is a study guide for the World Scholar's Cup, featuring resources like guides, summaries, notes, mock events, mock writing/debate topics, and so much more. IGNITION has been around since February of 2025, and we are still going strong to the present day. We are currently one of the biggest active guides out there in the WSC community, and we hope you can find your place with us!
About the Founders
