Some suggestions:

- Don't ask students to start from a "blank" slate. Give them a working project that is simple to modify.

- Start modifying the project together in class: starting is half the battle! (Stop as soon as it gets "interesting.")

- Find out what your students are interested in, and cater to those interests.

- Add some competition to the mix.
