Levi Zima is a RF/Microwave engineer. His interest in radio science and engineering began before his teen years. He began supporting wireless design as an intern at RF Laboratories, Inc. in Central Florida. Over the past five years, Levi has supported several designs that have gone on to become products in industry. One recent design, a crystal radio kit, is being used to teach young people how radio works by building, testing and tuning a working radio from scratch. Thousands of children at the Experimental Aircraft Association built his design over the past few years. The American Radio Relay League has selected it as the design they will use to teach amateur radio all over the United States. Levi also works part time as a manufacturing engineering technician at Radios OEM, Inc. in Sanford, FL where he manufactures radios that help monitor children that are in danger of drowning in domestic swimming pool accidents.
Levi’s most recent accomplishment is the drafting of CAD documents that were critical to a US patent grant for a product that prevents children from being injured in lawnmower and power equipment accidents.
Levi is a graduate of UCF and is a BSEE.

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion aimed at enhancing child safety and preventing lawnmower-related injuries through engineering, community involvement, and proactive education. This session will address alarming statistics and factors that increase the risks of these injuries while delving into how engineering innovations such as improved safety features and the development of aftermarket products can significantly decrease the risk. Lastly, we will explore the powerful role that families of injured children can play in advocating for safety measures.
1. State at least three factors that put children at increased risk for lawnmower-related injuries.
2. Discuss how engineering changes in lawnmowers or aftermarket products could significantly decrease the risk of pediatric bystander injuries.
3. Understand how serious injuries to children may motivate families to help protect other children from similar harm, and how these families can become important partners in delivering injury messages.
