Kalimat is a non-symbolic programming language designed for Arab-speaking children. The language aims to teach foundational programming concepts through simple Arabic words and phrases, representing functions, variables, and operations on data with linguistic constructs familiar to its target users. Kalimat integrates text and graphics to demonstrate core computational principles in a culturally relevant manner. The environment provides visual feedback to help learners understand the cause-and-effect relationship between code they write and program outcomes.
