Yes, "Science Fair" was a Tandy trademark. I never had the digital
kit, but in the late 60s/early 70s I had several of the better
general electronic kits, mostly analog stuff. The documentation
seemed OK in my hazy memory, but I did supplement it with a lot of
library check-outs.

Is
'Science Fair' a name used by Radio Shack/Tandy? It seemed to be that
in the UK - we had all sorts of 'Science Fair' kits, mostly of the '3
transistors joined by spring terminals' type.
Yes, that's the one -- king of the spring terminals.
There was also a Science Fair Microprocessor Trainer that I find much more
interesting, even if it's not mechanical: TMS1000, hex keypad, LEDs, and
speaker.
