The University of Granada takes part in the PIIISA project to introduce research in an Andalusian High School. The main objective is to show high school students what research is and how it is done. Students have the opportunity to get involved in projects led by well-known scientists, and to know firsthand what the scientific method is and how the research process evolves, something that will allow them to explore their possible vocation for a scientific career. In this case the researchers proposed to work with students on Cultural Landscapes and the historical irrigation systems using Minecraft  --  a construction game, where the participant creates and destroys different types of blocks in a three-dimensional environment through a character. On the first day the students received an introductory lesson about Cultural Landscapes and Historical and Traditional Irrigation Systems. Later on, university students taught High School students how to play with Minecraft and the tools necessary to build a landscape.  On the second day, High School students built different Cultural Landscapes and historical irrigation systems using Minecraft (High Mountain, Middle Mountain and Valley).  On the last day, High School Students, with the help of the organisers, made a documentary to describe their experience with the Minecraft game and what they learnt about historical irrigation systems.
