The PyTorch Docathon 2025, akin to a hackathon, is an event dedicated to enhancing the quality of the PyTorch documentation with the invaluable assistance of our community. This is an inclusive event designed to be accessible to all levels of expertise, from newcomers to experienced ML/PyTorch users. It offers a rewarding experience as participants can see the direct impact of their contributions on the project's usability and accessibility. The Docathon promotes a collaborative environment, allowing participants to work with other contributors and PyTorch maintainers, fostering the exchange of ideas and networking. It also provides a rich learning experience, offering the opportunity to explore PyTorch modules, update docstrings, and test tutorials.

title: 'Announcing the PyTorch Docathon 2025'
4+

We're thrilled to announce the [2025 PyTorch Docathon](https://community.linuxfoundation.org/events/details/lfhq-pytorch-foundation-presents-pytorch-docathon-june-3rd-18th-2025/)! This is a hackathon-style event aimed at enhancing PyTorch documentation with the support of the community. Documentation is a vital component of any technology, and by refining it, we can simplify the onboarding process for new users, help them effectively utilize PyTorch's features, and ultimately speed up the transition from research to production in machine learning.

## WHY PARTICIPATE
10+
11+
12+
### Low Barrier to Entry
13+
14+
Unlike many open-source projects that require deep knowledge of the codebase and previous contributions to join hackathon events, the Docathon is tailored for newcomers. While we expect participants to be familiar with Python, and have basic knowledge of PyTorch and machine learning, there are tasks related to website issues that don't even require that level of expertise.
15+
16+
17+
### Tangible Results
18+
19+
A major advantage of the Docathon is witnessing the immediate impact of your contributions. Enhancing documentation significantly boosts a project's usability and accessibility, and you'll be able to observe these improvements directly. Seeing tangible outcomes can also be a strong motivator to continue contributing.
20+
21+
22+
### Collaborative Environment
23+
24+
The Docathon fosters a collaborative atmosphere, offering you the chance to work alongside other contributors and PyTorch maintainers to improve the documentation. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from peers, exchange ideas, and build connections.
25+
26+
27+
### Learning Opportunities
28+
29+
Even if you're not a PyTorch expert, the Docathon offers a valuable learning experience. You'll have the chance to delve into PyTorch modules, test tutorials on your machine, and explore them in the CI environment.
30+
31+
32+
## WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE
33+
34+
Whether you’re a seasoned documentation expert or just starting out, we invite everyone to join in the PyTorch docathon to contribute and develop your skills and knowledge to help improve the documentation for everyone! We will have issues labelled by skill level, and the PyTorch Discord will be available for collaboration and help.
