A new prize fund was founded to commemorate the contribution of Naama Grinshpon both as a teacher and educator of many generations of students to the love of science in general and chemistry in particular, and as a teacher instructor in the Haifa district who supported teachers in all phases of their work and promoted innovative teaching methods. For many years, Naama was also engaged in teacher training in the Department of Technology and Science Teaching at the Technion. Many of her students chose to work as researchers in chemistry/medicine departments in institutions of higher education and many of the teachers who trained are still serving as chemistry teachers throughout the country. Everyone remembers her as a great educator. The prize will be awarded once a year in a ceremony held in collaboration with the supervision of the teaching of chemistry and the National Center for Chemistry Teachers.
