This document reviews a collection of activities conducted by the Department of Physics at Virginia Commonwealth University to excite young people about physics so that they will be more likely to consider physics as a career. The Society of Physics Students performs demonstrations of physics experiments for Virginia high school physics classes and elementary and middle school science classes, to explain the basic principles involved. The Department of Physics sponsors an annual physics show for middle school students. An annual workshop on physics teaching assembles high school physics teachers from Virginia to discuss improvements in physics teaching and possible recruitment of students into physics. An additional faculty activity is assisting public school students with their science projects. (Author/JDD)
