Après avoir conçu leur travail, ils ont la chance de télécharger leur travail dans un concours de vote de popularité et de gagner des prix. Ils ont également la possibilité d'imprimer leurs conceptions en 3D. Ils auront également la possibilité de télécharger leur conception dans des jeux avec lesquels les enfants jouent. Les enfants ont aussi la chance d'écrire des scénarios de jeu, d'imaginer des idées, de concevoir des jouets géniaux, et de faire partie des communautés scientifiques de leur choix.
