They are creating a desktop app, and wanted to use MS FluentUI, a React UI component library.
Creating a desktop app isn't web development, it's desktop app development.
You've got to teach web dev from the basics outwards. We (developers) have taken a platform for "document" delivery and layered it with tools for app development. Teach it this way. Start with simple content - including a little style, enough layout to get going, some rollovers or form helpers, and basic accessibility. Then talk about templating (static sites, or server-side apps). Then talk about single page apps. Then talk about desktop apps.
