It is suggested (but not mandatory) that each team include a UX designer as they bring a unique perspective that complements the analytical prowess of data scientists and developers. By incorporating a designer, teams can elevate their projects to new heights, ensuring not only seamless data models and user experiences but also fostering compelling branding and captivating pitch presentations. A designer's ability to bridge the gap between data-driven insights and visually appealing, user-centric solutions will undoubtedly contribute to the team's success in winning the Datathon by creating a holistic and impactful project.
