No, you can't and you shouldn't mostly because of security reasons.

GitHub won't allow the execution of an external script.

Check this answer: Embed JavaScript in GitHub README.md

No, you cannot embed scripts inside GitHub's markdown.

Being able to embed scripts would lead to XSS (Cross-site scripting) insecurities, therefore it is not possible by GitHub's design, and for good reason.

There is no way to add scripts to markdown.
Mark down can be only used for text formatting and not more.

Here is what allowed to use:

What can you still do?

You can still embed images like you see here on this answer. So convert your slides to images and embed them

Everything said above is true but I wanted to add one additional piece of information.

Even though README will not display the embedded slide but if this repo is converted into Github Page then the same README will be rendered perfectly and it will display the speakerdeck slide as well.
