In this section, we explore some ideas, and share some resources, on how you can transform your static PowerPoint presentation into a fun and interactive experience for your audience!
Start with an icebreaker
The easiest way to add some interactivity to your slides is to start of the presentation with an icebreaker. The purpose of an icebreaker is to get your audience engaged and ready for the presentation ahead.

Add discussion between topics
