Corsair

Overview

The CORSAIR ECO-CIRCUIT CHALLENGE (“the Challenge”) is a student competition organized under one shared program umbrella with two distinct tracks: Track 1: The Repairability Lab and Track 2: Pitch the Fix. The contest invites Georgia high school students to investigate how technology products can be repaired, improved, and reimagined to support longer product life, better serviceability, and stronger environmental outcomes. This Challenge is committed to protecting the privacy of all participants—educators, librarians, and any “faculty staff” who participate as advisors, and students aged 13-19 at the time of entry submission and their parents/legal guardians who submit entries or otherwise interact with the Challenge platform. This Privacy Policy describes what personal data we collect, how we use it, with whom it may be shared, and your rights regarding that data.
