How do I make a simple slideshow? (Using the spacebar)

when [space v] key pressed
broadcast [nextSlide v]

when I receive [nextSlide v]
...

You can use one sprite with costumes, different backdrops, or just a whole bunch of slides.

Or

when [space v] key pressed
next backdrop

when backdrop switches to [ v] //for sprites
show

Instead of space bar UI, it could be on a timer var loop

Why would you need a timer var loop?
The user stated that he/she will need to make slideshows function using the spacebar.

Was thinking the space bar would start, pause, stop the show but slides could advance with time lapse until stopped by UI

(Slides - backdrops)

This seems to be pretty well answered already. Like mostly everyone has said, it's quite simple to do.

Create each slide as a new backdrop.
Use these blocks:

when green flag clicked
switch backdrop to [backdrop1 v]

when [space v] key pressed
broadcast [Next Slide v]

when I receive [Next Slide v]
next costume

If you're looking for something fancy for the actual slide transition, shoot me a note; I have a transition “API” that you could use.

Maybe use this?

when green flag clicked
switch backdrop to [The starting backdrop you want]

when [space] key pressed
next backdrop
