The LEGO MINDSTORMS team is proud to have sponsored LEGO MINDSTORMS and LEGO TECHNIC sets as prizes for a poster competition held at Sevenoaks School in Kent, England, during the 6-day Science Week 2011, with an attendance of 3776 students from schools in the area. During Science Week the students could try various experiments, learn about the human body, saw chemistry demonstrations and could participate in scientific challenges. One of the challenges was centered around space exploration.

At the South by Southwest Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas, a group of hackers and developers teamed up to participate in a 7-hour long hacking event, that culminated in a robotic sumo competition.
