I'd suggest that Clojure's "Hello, World!" should happen initially at the
repl, where leiningen definitely simplifies the UX.
lein repl # from any cwd
(println "...")
which launches nicely into demonstrating dynamic development.
If your students work with Java, I'd make a point of demonstrating the joy
of the Clojure repl + Java interop, useful even when your project is pure
Java.
