Ed didn't say it would cover all of the multiple intelligences - just
that it would be "multi" - there is a subtle difference.

Ed,
I respectfully disagree. Does an open-ended experience necessarily
encourage the development of musical intelligence as well as
logistical-mathematical intelligence? I don't think so. The more an
experience is facilitated the more likely one can approach this, but the
idea that creating an open-ended experience automatically engages all
types
of intelligence is a bit simplistic.
Or ofr a concrete example: I have yet to see anyone develop their
musical
intelligence by utilizing a paper airplane exhibit. I'm not saying it
can't
ever happen (someone could develop a song about airplanes), but I am
saying
the airplane exhibit is not effective at encouraging it.

Mike-
Making the exhibit experience open-ended ensures that it will be
multi-intelligence. Give people a challenge and let them solve it in
their
own thinking style - some will talk, some will draw, some with pick up
the
materials provided and build. Perfect.
