Help looking for short presential engineering open courses

In summary, the person is an engineering student from Mexico who has recently won a scholarship and is looking for presencial open programs, courses, events or certifications in the areas of mechatronics or aerospace engineering to take advantage of the scholarship. They are having trouble finding available programs during their winter vacation that align with their class schedule and are similar to Stanford's summer open programs.

Hi everyone, just wondered if anyone knew about presencial open programs/courses/events/certifications available to engineering students in general, preferably in the areas of mechatronics (controls, electronics) or aerospace engineering.

I'm an engineering (undergrad) student from Mexicali, Mexico, and I recently won a scholarship from a well known company, mainly focused in academic investments, like studies-related travels.

I wanted to take advantage of it, but I am having trouble finding available open courses, events or programs, that preferably take few days (in order for not missing a lot of class days here at my hometown university). It would be perfect if it aligns with winter vacations.

Something like Stanford's summer open programs would be perfect; however, I'm also looking for other posibilities.

Thanks in advance to everyone, and have a good day.

What do you mean by "presencial"? I find the translation of "eyewitness" but that doesn't translate well in this context. Do you mean on-line video courses?

Presencial means classroom. Unfortunately programs which are this short-running are pretty rare at least in the US.
