pyKp130, My Virtual Science Lab in Python

I built pyKp130, a virtual science and engineering lab you can run entirely in Python. Instead of using a physical lab, you write experiments as code, simulate them over time, and collect reproducible numerical data. It is designed to teach how experiments and simulations work while keeping results accurate and consistent.

What It Does

Run simulations using model time
Supports physics, biology, and other types of experiments
Logs results automatically to CSV files
Follows a clear workflow: setup, simulate, analyze, export
Focuses on correct simulation and data structure rather than graphics
Experiments Included
Population Growth: a logistic population model that stabilizes over time
Motion Simulation: tracks position and velocity under constant acceleration
Neuron Signal: models neuron potential responding to a sine-wave stimulus

Getting Started

Requires Python 3.10 or higher. Clone the repo and run any experiment:

git clone https://github.com/AyaanDhalait/pyKp130.git
cd pyKp130
python kp130.py population
python kp130.py motion
python kp130.py neuron

Results are saved in the data folder as CSV files. You can open them in Excel, Google Sheets, or use Python to plot graphs and analyze the data.

Why I Made This

I wanted a simple, reproducible way to explore scientific simulations and understand how experiments work from the inside out. This project is small but fully functional and easy to extend with new experiments or models.
