Summer Tech Challenge #7

Create a summer-themed choose-your-own-adventure story using Google Slides.

Your story could include:

• A family vacation
• A trip to the beach
• A day at the pool
• Camping adventures
• Any original summer adventure you can imagine

Tips for Success

• Plan the story on paper before opening Google Slides.
• Create all of your slides first.
• Use hyperlinks to connect choices to different slides.
• Add images after the story structure is complete.
• Remember that not every slide needs to offer a choice—some simply move the story forward.

Resources Mentioned

• Google Slides
• YouTube tutorial on creating choose-your-own-adventure stories with Google Slides
