  The regular K-10 curriculums often do not get the necessary of affordable
technology involving interactive ways of teaching the prescribed curriculum
with effective analytical skill building. In this paper, we present "PlutoAR",
a paper-based augmented reality interpreter which is scalable, affordable,
portable and can be used as a platform for skill building for the kids. PlutoAR
manages to overcome the conventional albeit non-interactive ways of teaching by
incorporating augmented reality (AR) through an interactive toolkit to provide
students with the best of both worlds. Students cut out paper "tiles" and place
these tiles one by one on a larger paper surface called "Launchpad" and use the
PlutoAR mobile application which runs on any Android device with a camera and
uses augmented reality to output each step of the program like an interpreter.
PlutoAR has inbuilt AR experiences like stories, maze solving using conditional
loops, simple elementary mathematics and the intuition of gravity.
