Meet the Yuma County Science & Engineering Director for 2026-2027.
Stefanie Littlewood-Moody is an Air Force veteran who teaches middle school science and agriculture at Centennial Middle School. Dedicated to cultivating curiosity and harvesting knowledge, she creates engaging, hands-on learning experiences that connect students directly to STEM and agricultural concepts. Born and raised in Yuma, she is devoted to connecting local agriculture with her students. Stefanie is passionate about collaborating & sharing resources with teachers so that we all can guide students to explore the world around them through practical science, school garden initiatives, and interactive science fair projects. After volunteering on the Yuma County Science and Engineering Expo committee last year, she is excited to serve as this year's coordinator.
