When you do recruiting in your school, emphasize that there are many roles to play on the team -we have a brochure that lists the many different skills we are looking for; i.e. writing (public relations, Chairman's Award), computer animation, computer programming, sports (don't forget those human players), mathematics, business, finance, accounting, art (designing buttons, t-shirts, painting wall murals at our facility, designing posters), etc.
One way to attract people in those areas is to contact the teachers of those areas to see if there is anyone they think might be interested.
