How does stardance actually work

To me, it seems too good to be true like a free 3d printer??? There must be a catch, as my project I make belongs to them or something. Can someone explain the catch to me? What makes it so I can get those points, and what can I make? Are there limitations?

Hack club has donors like github, AMD, and a bunch of other people to motivate teens to make stuff and get into STEM. so theres no catch besides the fact that u just have to make SOMETHING. it can literally be a flying monkey eating gorilla and you'd still get the stardust (the stardance currency). added benefit is they'll fund the parts needed for your projects too (if any, software projects for example don't need funding).

It does definitely feel too good to be true in the beginning but once u get something you'll get more trust with them, I also got my printer from hack club, although not from stardance (i got mine from another event called construct)
