๐ What are Category Slides?
Category slides are like title pages for different sections of your presentation! Think of them as road signs that tell everyone what's coming next. Adding pictures makes them even more fun and easier to understand. Imagine you're making a presentation about animals. You could have category slides like "Jungle Animals", "Farm Animals", and "Ocean Animals".
