Fridaygram: open source mentors, robotic fish, cooperative children

Google Summer of Code, now in its eighth year, is an initiative where university students collaborate with mentors on open source projects, with the current deadline for mentor applications set for March 9. Meanwhile, researchers at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University have created a robotic fish that can lead other fish by mimicking natural movements, providing insights into robot leadership. Additionally, a study comparing cooperative behaviors found that human children collaborate effectively, whereas adult non-human primates do not, often taking resources from their young instead. The post, part of the lighthearted Fridaygram series, aims to entertain and engage readers with intriguing updates from the worlds of technology and science.
