Maybe start with something that they want to see close up. For example, have each one pick something rough, something smooth, something that grows, a small toy, etc. If your kids are anything like mine, starting by forcing them to confront a fear will just make them hate the technology and they'll be less willing to participate the next time you want to do a cool project with them.
