A. Bloom Institute of Technology is REGISTERED UNDER THE UTAH POSTSECONDARY PROPRIETARY SCHOOL ACT (Title 13, Chapter 34, Utah Code). B. Registration under the Utah Postsecondary Proprietary School Act does not mean that the State of Utah supervises, recommends, nor accredits the institution. It is the student’s responsibility to determine whether credits, degrees, or certificates from the institution will transfer to other institutions or meet employers’ training requirements. This may be done by calling the prospective school or employer. C. The institution is not accredited by a regional or national accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education. FACILITY AND EQUIPMENT Bloom Institute of Technology offers training online in a virtual classroom. Students complete distance education coursework at a location they determine.

steps are completed including, but not limited to, signing the Enrollment Agreement, finalizing tuition options, completing pre-course work (if applicable), and completing the orientation program (if applicable). A student's start date is located on their signed Enrollment Agreement. Students must progress to sprint three within thirty (30) days of the start date listed on their Enrollment Agreement. Failure to progress to sprint three within thirty (30) days may lead to the student being withdrawn. PROGRAM TERM DATES Timeframe for completion is calculated from the start date of the program as listed in the student’s Enrollment Agreement. Please see below for your program’s term date. Data Science and Full Stack Web Development: The anticipated completion date for Data Science or Full Stack Web Development students is six (6) months from the student’s start date. Students may finish the program sooner or later, depending on their personal pace and needs in the program. As a result, the actual completion date(s) may be before or after 6 months, as long as the completion date is within the Maximum Program Length. The anticipated completion date for the student’s program does not include any holidays, breaks, repeat courses, or leaves of absences the student may take. Enterprise Backend Development: The anticipated completion date for Enterprise Backend Development students is nine (9) months from the student’s start date. Students may finish the program sooner or later, depending on their personal pace and needs in the program. As a result, the actual completion date(s) may be before or after 9 months, as long as the completion date is within the Maximum Program Length. The anticipated completion date for the student’s program does not include any holidays, breaks, repeat courses, or leaves of absences the student may take. Web3 Development: The anticipated completion date for Web3 students is ten (10) weeks from the student’s start date. Students may finish the program sooner or later, depending on their personal pace and needs in the program. As a result, the actual completion date(s) may be before or after 10 weeks, as long as the completion date is within the Maximum Program Length. The anticipated completion date for the student’s program does not include any holidays, breaks, repeat courses, or leaves of absences the student may take. Page 9 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.

MAXIMUM PROGRAM LENGTH We believe that students that put in the work can be successful in the program regardless if they move quickly or need a little additional time with the curriculum. Students should be able to progress through and complete the program to earn a certificate of completion in a timely manner. The maximum allotted timeframe for completion of the program does not override other policies within this catalog, the Enrollment Agreement, or the Student Guide regarding academic progression and/or successful completion. A student who is unable to successfully complete the program within the maximum allotted time frame outlined below may be withdrawn to prevent unintentional interest accrual. Students with an extenuating circumstance may reach out via support ticket within The Hub to request an extension. If a student is withdrawn from Bloom Institute of Technology, the tuition proration policy will apply based on when they were withdrawn. Data Science, Full Stack Web Development, Enterprise Backend Development ● Data Science, Full Stack Web Development, and Enterprise Backend Development students must complete the program within 18 consecutive calendar months. ● Timeframe for completion is calculated from the start date of the program as listed in the student’s Enrollment Agreement, and is the same regardless of any observed holidays, Leave of Absence taken, or BloomTech office closure during the 18-month span. ● Students who are withdrawn for not completing their program in 18 months cannot be readmitted. Web 3 Development Web3 students must complete the program within 12 consecutive calendar months. REPEAT CONTENT POLICY Bloom Institute of Technology’s competency based progression model allows students to repeat content that they have not yet demonstrated competency in at no additional cost. Learning at Bloom Institute of Technology follows a competency based progression model, and students may need to repeat portions of class to ensure students have the skills to succeed in their program and new field. That may mean extending the length of their program. If certain assessments are not passed, the student may repeat a portion of the program that covers the objectives they did not Page 10 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.

achieve. Students that are not demonstrating adequate effort or progress may be withdrawn from the program.

starting Sprint 2 you will owe no tuition and receive a full refund for any amounts paid to BloomTech. The definition of a “sprint started” in the charts below is as follows: A sprint starts when you submit and pass your final assignment/task in the prior sprint, or in the case of Web3, when you submit your final assignment/task from the prior sprint. At that time, you are automatically given access to the next sprint and are deemed to have started that next sprint. For example if you are a Data Science student and complete and pass your final assignment or task for sprint 1, you are given access to sprint 2, have started Sprint 2, and therefore owe 10% ($2,195) of your tuition.

Any course with a “W” grade is not calculated into graduation requirements. Incompletes - Bloom Institute of Technology does not give out incompletes. A grading period is defined as one sprint: 40 hours for Backend, Web, and DS and 15 hours for Web3. All grades are found in the learning management system. Bloom Institute of Technology’s response to, or evaluation of, each student lesson, project, or dissertation is returned to the student within 10 days after receipt. Final course grades are based on demonstration of meeting the learning outcomes as stated on each course syllabus. Page 17 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.

SATISFACTORY PROGRESS Bloom Institute of Technology's standards of satisfactory progress apply to all students. Students must pass the requirements for each sprint in order to progress to the next sprint. Satisfactory Progress means meeting the requirements to progress through all program sprints and satisfying the clocked hours for the student’s program within the time specified in the Maximum Program Length policy. ACADEMIC PROBATION If a student is inactive or not progressing at a rate aligned with their anticipated graduation date or maximum program length, BloomTech will reach out to the student to assist them in progressing or requesting withdrawal. Inactive learners who are unresponsive to multiple outreach attempts will be withdrawn to avoid unintentional vesting of tuition. There are no probationary periods. REMEDIAL WORK AND REPEATED COURSES Bloom Institute of Technology does not offer remedial work. When a course or assessment is repeated, the higher grade for the repeated material will be considered in the determination of the student's grade average for the course of study. ATTENDANCE Attendance and participation in BloomTech courses is measured in multiple ways, including but not limited to taking attendance in live instruction experiences, verifying module & sprint project attempts, and activity in BloomTech’s learning management systems, etc. While students may choose to attend live or view recorded sessions, attendance and engagement with the material is critical to success in the program. Learners who do not have activity on the learning management systems for more than seven days will be flagged as inactive, and BloomTech will reach out to verify enrollment. BloomTech may withdraw inactive students to protect them from unintentional further vesting of tuition. Students who are unable to engage with the curriculum and make satisfactory progress due to extenuating circumstances may need to take a leave of absence. TARDINESS AND EARLY DEPARTURES Students who arrive late or leave early to a live instruction session will be able to attend a session at a future date of their choosing, or to review recorded content through the learning management system. MAKE-UP WORK Students that have missed a live lecture, assignment, project, or any other designed activity in the scheduled class time may make up for that work by doing so outside of scheduled class time. Page 18 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE POLICY A leave of absence (LOA) or “Hiatus” will be considered and may be granted at the discretion of BloomTech Staff provided: 1. The LOA does not exceed 60 calendar days 2. The LOA is requested by the student in writing prior to the first day of the LOA; 3. The LOA is approved in writing by the institution prior to the first day of the requested LOA; and 4. The student is in good standing prior to the LOA request. STUDENT CONDUCT EXPECTATIONS General Information The Code of Conduct is set forth to give Learners general notice of academic and non-academic expectations. At the Bloom Institute of Technology, we are committed to the success of our Learners. That focus drives everything we do. Besides providing a clear framework, the policies and procedures in the Catalog are designed to mirror expectations our Learners will see in a professional or workplace environment. Additionally, we want every Learner at BloomTech to have as positive a learning environment as possible - something we all play a role in. The Code of Conduct should be read broadly and is not designed to define misconduct in exhaustive terms. The Code of Conduct is an overarching policy that also includes all published policies and procedures within the Catalog . All Learners are expected to know and abide by the Code of Conduct and all published policies and procedures contained within the Catalog . In addition, we may from time to time publish announcements to Learners about topics related to the Code of Conduct. We will endeavor to ensure that updates are reflected in the Catalog , but overall, we expect that Learners abide by guidance provided by staff. Student Rights and Responsibilities At the Bloom Institute of Technology, we value an educational environment that respects the values of individual Learners and their personal and professional development. We strive to create and maintain an environment in which individuals are treated with dignity, decency, and respect, and the best learning happens. Each learner has the responsibility to take an active role in their learning and understanding, and to contribute to an environment where all can learn. As agreed upon enrollment, Learners are responsible for reading and understanding the expectations and guidelines of BloomTech as stated in the Enrollment Agreement, Catalog , and Code of Conduct. If a Learner has questions about certain conduct, or whether an expectation applies in BloomTech's programs and activities, and it is not Page 19 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.

explicitly stated, they should reach out in a Support Ticket for clarification. Learners also have the responsibility to remain in communication with BloomTech administration, by checking their email, reading and engaging in Slack channels and direct messages, and reading all school announcements. BloomTech protects Learner privacy. We do not provide personal information to non-service provider third parties except as requested by the Learner, or as required by subpoena, warrant, or as otherwise directed or permitted by law. A Note About Speech Rights BloomTech has both the right and responsibility to maintain a professional, respectful, and learning-centered environment. Although we welcome feedback and ideas, as a private institution, we may remove content that violates the Code of Conduct, is deemed to be disruptive to the learning environment, and/or is not aligned with BloomTech’s mission, values, and/or goals. Scope and Application of the Code of Conduct The Code of Conduct, along with all other published policies and procedures in the Catalog may be applied to behavior that is in-person, written, or conducted online. Alleged violations of the Code of Conduct that occur outside of a Learner's active enrollment at BloomTech (during admissions, leave of absence, or post graduation) are also subject to the conduct process, up to and including withdrawal from the program. Certain conduct may violate the Code of Conduct as well as the law. BloomTech reserves the right to investigate and to initiate the conduct process regardless of the prospect of or pending civil or criminal proceedings. BloomTech's resolution process differs from legal proceedings in that the goal is to promote learning, growth, and to preserve the educational environment. BloomTech may move forward to resolution prior to, simultaneously with, or following criminal or civil proceedings. Resolution of an alleged violation will not change on the grounds that a civil or criminal case has been resolved via dismissal, settlement, or reduction. Slack, The Hub, and email are our main tools of communication at BloomTech. We encourage Learners to engage in curriculum related discussions and ask for help through the appropriate BloomTech Hub Forums and support tickets. While we do not want to stop the gathering of BloomTech Learners outside of official channels we cannot as a school be held liable for anything that happens in the spaces that we do not govern. However, the school reserves the right to further investigation and possible removal of a Learner for offenses such as bullying, harassment, etc. if such behavior is brought to our attention. Policies in the Catalog , including but not limited to the Code of Conduct, may be enforceable for incidents that happen outside of BloomTech that affect the BloomTech Page 20 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.

community (for example personal social media pages, Twitter, Facebook, or in-person meet ups). The following criteria will be used to determine if an incident that happens outside of BloomTech networks will be considered an alleged violation of the Code of Conduct: 1. When the incident was recognized by others as being carried out by a BloomTech Learner; 2. When the incident adversely impacted the mental, emotional, or physical health, safety, and/or security of BloomTech community members; 3. When the incident adversely impacted the mission and/or values of BloomTech; and/or 4. Whether the incident was a violation of federal or state laws or regulations, or local ordinances. Process When a Violation of the Code of Conduct Occurs We do not actively seek out violations of the Code of Conduct. If we come across an issue, or someone brings concerning behavior to our attention, BloomTech staff will work to determine if the behavior may be a violation of the Code of Conduct. If a violation is alleged (or confirmed), we will generally: ● Notify the Learner(s) involved ● Meet with the Learner(s) involved ● Gather information about the incident(s) ● Work to prevent reoccurance In most cases, Learners will be notified of the alleged violation (through Slack messaging and/or email address on file) and have an opportunity to meet with a BloomTech staff member to share their perspective. Additionally, BloomTech reserves the right to immediately remove a Learner from the School without notice or opportunity for a hearing for behavior deemed to be disruptive to the learning environment and/or not in line with BloomTech’s mission, values and goals. BloomTech may also take steps to limit a Learner's access to the BloomTech community, for example Slack access, while an investigation takes place. When determining if a Learner has violated a policy, BloomTech staff will look at the information to see if the violation is “more likely than not” to have occurred. When deciding the appropriate action to take, we consider the severity of the incident, the context in which it took place, and Learner communications, if applicable. A Learner's lack of response to staff communication or refusal to participate in the process may also factor in the decision. Actions taken to prevent future occurrence may be educational in nature or may include actions up to withdrawal from BloomTech. If a Learner is found to be responsible for a violation of the Catalog , Code of Conduct, or Page 21 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.

other published policies, the Learner will be notified of the decision, along with any resulting outcomes up to, but not limited to being removed from platforms, repeating or reattempting academic work, temporary or permanent withdrawal from BloomTech, or other educational assignments. Participation and Attendance Attendance and participation in BloomTech courses is measured in multiple ways, including but not limited to taking attendance in live instruction experiences, verifying module and sprint project attempts, activity in the BloomTech learning management system, etc. Inactivity of more than seven days may trigger a withdrawal process to protect learners from unintentional further vesting of tuition beyond Sprint 2. Coursework and Projects BloomTech expects Learners to complete each and every assignment given as part of the course because the concepts learned in one assignment are a building block needed for future assignments. Even if a Learner knows a concept, repetition solidifies the foundation of their knowledge. We encourage Learners to reach for stretch goals and practice on their own. Coursework and relevant assignment and Sprint Challenge deadlines are housed in the Learning Management System. Learners are responsible for ensuring that their coursework is submitted in the appropriate manner and in line with the maximum time frame allotted for the program. Owning your Learning It is ultimately the Learner's responsibility to take an active role in their learning and understanding, alongside the structure and support provided by BloomTech. This might mean that to master material, Learners might put in additional study hours beyond what is listed as the “average” amount of time.. Or, that Learners might benefit from resources beyond BloomTech support channels, such as to learn another programming language or enhance their understanding of a concept and to prepare themselves. While we are here to provide support and assistance, Learners are ultimately responsible for their own learning and success. Asking for Help If a Learner feels lost or is stuck on an assignment, it’s their responsibility to reach out to the BloomTech community for help. Learners may not always be given the answer, but they will be provided with the tools to come up with the answer on their own. Learners should use the following steps in order when they need help on technical problems/challenges and coursework: 1. Use the 20 Minute Rule (work on the problem on your own for 20 minutes) 2. Post your question or issue in the appropriate Hub Discussion Forum Page 22 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.

3. File an Instructional Support Ticket through the Hub Academic Integrity BloomTech expects Learners to understand and maintain high standards of academic integrity. The goal of BloomTech is that our Learners learn the material to competency. Asking for help and researching online are a key part of learning, and in the world of collaboration and open source, this can be tricky to navigate. Although you can search the web, read articles and documentation, and review code snippets and examples for help, you should be able to put all these assistance tools aside and write code from scratch. Learners should not submit any code or content that they did not write as their own work. For our purposes, breaches of academic integrity include, but are not limited to the following: ● Inappropriate Collaboration - Collaboration on assignments is prohibited unless explicitly permitted or directed by an instructor. Collaboration includes Learner, professional, and/or technological assistance other than personal research for inquiries. ● Plagiarism and Cheating - Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty that includes the wrongful appropriation of another's work, thoughts, ideas or expression. Plagiarism can include copying code or content from instructors, other Learners, outside sources, or generally submitting work that is not one’s own. Giving your solution code to another Learner to copy, or copying another Learner's work, is considered cheating. ● Sharing Solution Code - BloomTech projects and curriculum are the property of BloomTech. Any unauthorized sharing of project solution code within or outside of the BloomTech community is considered cheating, and may result in dismissal from the program. ● Inappropriate use of Intellectual Property and Copyright Violations - We expect all Learners to respect the intellectual property rights of BloomTech, instructors, staff, other Learners, as well as those of any and all external parties. BloomTech owns all code for BloomTech assigned projects. Learners own any code that they write for projects outside of the core BloomTech curriculum, even if these projects were written during their enrollment in BloomTech. Intellectual property violations include copyright violations, using, and/or linking materials to which you do not have the rights. BloomTech may request that you remove any content or material (either within Slack, The Hub, or externally) that is found to violate any Catalog policy, contractual term, law, and/or any intellectual property right. Content posted to BloomTech Slack spaces also belongs to BloomTech. Page 23 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.

For any project you are submitting, you should be able to set research tools and notes aside and write your own code. In investigating suspected academic integrity violations, BloomTech staff may use the following questions to evaluate the situation: 1. Who created the original code and/or content? 2. For what purpose was that code and/or content created? 3. To what extent was the original code and/or content changed? Behavioral and Community Standards One of The Bloom Institute of Technology's most important jobs is building and maintaining a strong, supportive, positive learning environment that leads to successful career outcomes for all BloomTech Learners. BloomTech takes that job very seriously. Any activity (creating distractions, bullying, harassment, etc.) that negatively impacts the learning environment may result in being removed from the program. If removed from BloomTech for violations of the Catalog , Code of Conduct, Enrollment Agreement or other published policies, the Learner may qualify for a proration of their tuition. Professionalism and Respect BloomTech is a professional environment. It is expected that Learners act accordingly. Punctuality, timeliness, accountability, and open communication are crucial not only for a Learner's success at BloomTech, but also in their careers afterward. The professional expectations BloomTech requires of its learners are the same as a learner's future employers will expect of them. Professionalism should be a theme that runs through a learner's work and interactions at BloomTech. This includes communication via Slack, The Hub, Zoom, content of a learner's work, and naming conventions. A good rule of thumb is: if a Learner wouldn’t do or say it in front of an employer or colleagues at their job, they shouldn't do it here at BloomTech. BloomTech is fortunate to have Learners, instructors, and staff from extremely diverse backgrounds. Contribute to creating a positive experience for everyone by being respectful in communication. Learners are expected to do their part to make BloomTech a welcoming place to learn by encouraging their fellow Learners, offering support, and listening to others. BloomTech does not tolerate discriminatory, harassing, or insulting remarks to other Learners, instructors, staff, or anyone else, online or in person; for more detail see the Discrimination and Harassment policy below. Alcohol and Other Drugs Learners are expected to abide by local laws and regulations regarding the use of alcohol and other drugs. In addition, the following are considered violations if a learner does so while participating in BloomTech programs and activities: Page 24 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.

● Consuming alcohol and other drugs during school hours. Other drugs include, but are not limited to, cannabis (in all forms), controlled substances, prescriptions (when used in any manner and/or by any person other than what has been prescribed by a medical professional), and the use of synthetic or natural substances ingested for an intoxication effect. ● Use or display of drug paraphernalia, including but not limited to items or objects used or designed for inhaling, ingesting, or otherwise introducing drugs into the body. ● Disorderly and/or disruptive behavior caused by the use of alcohol or other drugs. ● Exhibiting signs of intoxication during BloomTech programs and activities. If a Learner has a concern about another individual regarding alcohol or other drugs, they should notify BloomTech staff by submitting a Support Ticket in the Hub. Property and Resources Learners are responsible for maintaining the appropriate security of BloomTech property, both tangible, like computers and tech equipment, and intangible intellectual property such as curriculum and content. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, BloomTech property in the Learner's possession or control must be immediately returned to BloomTech upon any extended leave, withdrawal, completion, and/or termination. Learners may not take, attempt to take, keep in their possession, sell, or attempt to sell property (intellectual or physical), information, services, or accounts belonging to BloomTech or other individual(s). This includes, but is not limited to, loaned equipment. Learners also may not commit actual or attempted damage or destruction of any property or item, including intellectual or physical property, information, and/or accounts. Weapons Learners are expected to abide by local laws and regulations regarding the use and possession of weapons. While participating in BloomTech programs and activities (lectures, support hours, study group meetings, etc.) it is expected that all Learners abide by the following expectations, regardless of local laws and regulations: ● Refrain from wielding, displaying, or using weapons or weapon paraphernalia while engaging in BloomTech programs and activities ○ Weapons include, but are not limited to: firearms, explosives, knives, clubs, martial arts weapons, swords, bows and arrows, hand grenades, or Page 25 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.

other objects that have been designed with the intent to harm another person or property. ○ Weapons also include, but are not limited to: pellet, BB, or airsoft guns, blackjacks, slingshots, Billy clubs, or metal knuckles (including replica or facsimile weapons), toy weapons, electroshock devices, stun guns, or any other devices that could reasonably be mistaken for a weapon or explosive. ○ Weapon paraphernalia includes, but is not limited to: ammunition, firearms accessories, empty holsters and magazines, and parts of a weapon. Discrimination and Harassment BloomTech strives to create and maintain an educational environment in which individuals are treated with dignity, decency, and respect. As such, BloomTech will not tolerate any form of harassment generally, and in particular, based on an individual's protected status that is unwelcome and is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive; causes reasonable fear for safety; and/or interferes with or limits employment, education, or ability to participate in or benefit from BloomTech's programs, activities, or resources. BloomTech prohibits unlawful discrimination against and harassment of staff, instructors, and Learners. BloomTech will seek to prevent, correct, and discipline behavior that violates this policy, and such behavior may result in withdrawal from the school. Discrimination Discrimination under this policy is conduct directed at an individual or group of individuals because of their race, color, national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, gender, marital status, age, disability status, or genetic information that subjects the individual or group of individuals to different treatment so as to adversely affect the individual's or group of individuals employment or educational experience at BloomTech. Harassment Harassment is conduct directed at an individual or group of individuals because of their race, color, national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, gender, marital status, age, disability status, or genetic information that has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual or group of individuals’ employment or educational experience or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment. Harassment includes any verbal, physical, or online conduct and includes, but is not limited to: slurs, epithets, or other threatening, intimidating, hostile, or abusive treatment directed at an individual or group of individuals based on the protected statuses described above. Page 26 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.

In order to constitute a hostile environment, the harassment must be sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive enough to create an environment that a reasonable person would find it intimidating, hostile, or abusive. A single incident may create a hostile environment if it is sufficiently severe. Additionally, while a single incident may not be classified as creating a hostile environment, the incident will be addressed so it is not repeated. Reporting Discrimination and Harassment Learners who believe they have been discriminated against or subjected to harassment in accessing BloomTech's programs or activities based on a protected status or otherwise, should submit a Support Ticket via the Hub. Complaints are treated confidentially to the extent possible. Retaliation BloomTech prohibits retaliation against any person because of that person's good-faith participation in the reporting, investigation, or resolution of any alleged violation of the Catalog , Code of Conduct, or other published policies. Retaliation can be physical, verbal, via third party, or using electronic means, and may include, but is not limited to: harassment, intimidation, threats, or adverse actions against a Learner, staff member, instructor, or other BloomTech community member. Retaliation may result in immediate removal from the school. Threatened or Actual Physical or Psychological Harm As a community of learners, BloomTech prohibits the following: ● Behavior that is threatening and/or intimidating, or harassing in nature and expresses or implies interference with personal safety, education, employment, or participation in BloomTech's activities, resources, or that causes the person(s) to have reasonable fear that such behavior is about to occur. ● Stalking, both physical and online. Includes, but is not limited to behavior that threatens or endangers the physical or psychological safety of a person(s), or creates a reasonable fear or intimidation of such a threat or action. ● Doxxing, which is uncovering and/or sharing a person’s private or confidential information, often for the purpose of intimidation. ● Any act or series of acts of physical, social, or emotional domination or intimidation, commonly referred to as "bullying" that causes fear of or physical or psychological harm and/or interferes with employment, education, or ability to participate in or benefit from BloomTech programs, activities, or resources. Digital Environment Standards While these expectations apply primarily to Zoom, The Hub, email, and Slack as they are the main forms of communication for the Bloom Institute of Technology, it is expected that all Learners abide by the expectations in this section during all school programs and activities, and on all BloomTech platforms. Page 27 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.

Communication Guidelines Professionalism is expected when creating and joining Slack channels, participating in discussion forums through The Hub, participating in academic and social discussion, and via posts, comments, questions, and responses to others. The creation of new channels and/or discussion topics is encouraged only when there is not an existing channel that covers the topic or interest. The creation of private channels is reserved solely for BloomTech staff and instructors. The naming of channels and content within is expected to be professional and in line with the policies and procedures found in the Code of Conduct. BloomTech reserves the right to delete Slack channels, Hub forum discussions, and content (posts, images, emojis, threads, questions, comments, and responses) that are not aligned with our mission, values, Catalog , or Code of Conduct. Additionally, inappropriate behavior on Slack, Zoom, The Hub, and other BloomTech platforms includes, but is not limited to: ● Calling attention to all community members using the @channel or @here function without explicit permission given by staff ● @’ing, and/or otherwise harassing, bullying, being disrespectful, inappropriate, or unprofessionally calling out individuals (Learners, staff, and instructors) ● Failing to follow the directions of staff or instructors (for example, continuing to post when directed not to) ● Being a disruption to the community ● Being disrespectful toward others (Learners, staff, instructors, and the school) ● Providing feedback in ways other than directed (for example, in channels outside the scope of where feedback was directed by the school) ● Spamming Learners, staff, or instructors ● Shopping for different answers (for example, sending direct messages to multiple staff and/or instructors about the same issue after already having received an answer) ● Using channels for solicitation/marketing of a personal business or for personal gain ● Misuse of channels - using channels for something other than the intended purpose ● Posting political content in channels other than #politics Conduct on Camera While the following expectations described here are primarily for Zoom interactions, they may apply elsewhere in the program. Page 28 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.

● Food: eating should be kept to a minimum while on camera and should not distract or disrupt others. ● Drinks: Alcohol is not to be consumed while on camera. This also includes having alcohol in sight or on display while on camera. ● Smoking/Smokeless tobacco: Smoking of any kind (cigarette, vaping, e-cigarette, etc.) is not permitted while on camera. This also includes chewing tobacco. ● Clothing: It is expected that Learners are fully clothed while on camera and that their clothing does not contain any obscene, offensive, or derogatory messages or images. Account Pictures Learners are expected to add a profile picture to their BloomTech associated accounts. This picture must be a professional looking picture of the Learner's face. The picture may not be a caricature, drawing, or cartoon image of the Learner's likeness. It is not acceptable to have any other image for a profile picture in platforms used for BloomTech. Names Learners are expected to use their legal name for Slack, The Hub, Zoom, and all communication within BloomTech. Learners who utilize a preferred name will need to submit a support ticket in the Hub so that we may update records. Safety BloomTech is committed to safety and encourages Learners to take precautions at all times, including but not limited to while using Zoom. Learners should use Zoom to attend live sessions, guided projects, and meetings while in a space where they are able to concentrate and not endanger themselves or others. We encourage Learners to use their best judgment and not participate in dangerous and/or physical activities while on Zoom, including but not limited to driving. Recording and Screenshots BloomTech values and respects Learner, staff, and instructor privacy. It is expected that all Learners will respect this privacy as well. Therefore, it is considered a violation of the Code of Conduct to: ● Use electronic or other devices to make an audio, photographic, screenshot, or video record of a person(s) without prior knowledge or permission in each instance. ● Store, share, or distribute such records by any means, including the unauthorized recording of personal conversations, images, meetings, or activities. Page 29 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.

● Create, store, share, or distribute created likeness of any person(s) without prior knowledge or permission. This includes, but is not limited to, emojis, gifs, and memes. Please note that screenshots may be taken and used for the purpose of reporting behavioral concerns to BloomTech staff. These should be submitted through a support ticket in the Hub, and not shared in Slack channels. Additionally, taking screenshots and sharing snippets of code or class material for the purpose of soliciting help or assistance in understanding a concept is permitted. Feedback BloomTech encourages critical thought, discourse, and feedback from our Learners, including reflections on the school itself, our policies, or anything else. We value Learner feedback and welcome it anytime via a support ticket in the Hub, communication with staff and instructors, and others. Please note that while learners may choose to talk to a staff member or instructor, support tickets in The Hub are the official means of communication regarding feedback or a concern. GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS Students must pass the requirements for each sprint in order to progress to the next sprint. Students are considered a “graduate” once they have received a passing grade for every sprint in their program. Students must complete these requirements and satisfy the hours for their program within the maximum time allotted for program completion (960 hours for Web & DS, 1440 for Backend, and 150 for Web3). Students that meet these requirements will be issued a Certificate of Completion from Bloom Institute of Technology for program completion within 60 days of graduation. A test-out process is available for students who qualify. Students should submit a Support Ticket to inquire about testing out or to initiate the process. BLOOM INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ORIENTATION An Orientation course is provided for new students in the learning management system. Completion of this course is required, and is due prior to beginning sprint 1. The Orientation includes content about the student journey, expectations, and tools used for instruction and learner assignments. There may also be optional live events, and information about these is included in the Orientation course. ACADEMIC ADVISING Academic advising may be initiated by Bloom Institute of Technology personnel or the student when the need is identified. Students may initiate academic advising by submitting a support ticket in The Hub. Page 30 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.

LEARNING RESOURCES Bloom Institute of Technology provides all instructional materials necessary for the program. Bloom Institute of Technology does not maintain a library. Students may access the internet for additional resources. Internet resources are available 24 hours a day and accessible with an internet connection. CURRICULUM ACCESS While enrolled in and as an alum of the Bloom Institute of Technology, you may have access to past and/or current materials and resources (such as curriculum and projects) for the program you completed. You may use these materials for your continued self-study, to brush up on a new skill, or prepare for an interview or project. Access to BloomTech materials is for your personal use only and may not be shared or distributed to a third party. This includes, but is not limited to alumni or learners from programs other than your own, individuals/companies/groups not affiliated with BloomTech, repurposing or editing materials and claiming them as your own, or publishing materials or curriculum in any form on any platform. BloomTech reserves the right to remove, alter, and/or discontinue access to this material at any time. ACCESSIBILITY AND ACCOMMODATIONS Bloom Institute of Technology welcomes and embraces diversity and is committed to providing otherwise qualified students equal access to programs and activities by having nondiscriminatory standards in all academic areas and reasonable accommodations. A reasonable accommodation is an adjustment or minor change that removes barriers. Reasonable accommodations do not involve lowering academic standards or alterations to a program. Please note that accommodations that were approved through another school or institution may not be approved at BloomTech due to the nature of the educational format of our programs and activities. Reasonable accommodations are evaluated and granted on an individualized basis. To begin the process of requesting accommodations, students should send an email to [email protected]. ZOOM Zoom is an online remote meeting service. While at Bloom Institute of Technology students will use Zoom to receive lectures, guided projects, pair programs, work on group projects, receive 1:1 support from the Instruction team, and more. Each student will be required to download Zoom and set up their free account before engaging in any live instruction experiences. THE HUB The Hub is a resource and communication tool at BloomTech, and contains the following: Page 31 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.

● Announcements to all or part of the student body ● Discussion Forums where students and staff can ask questions and engage with course material ● Knowledge Base of articles and frequently asked questions, covering school policies and information as well as curricular content and supplemental resources ● Support Ticket function, for general inquiries as well as requesting instructional or technical support SLACK OR OTHER FORUMS Slack is an online communication tool used widely in the tech industry.. If a student has never used Slack before, they should get to know it well. Nearly every company in Silicon Valley uses it, and it’s rapidly becoming a point of competence across software engineering teams. Once a student has finalized their enrollment, we will add them to the student Slack workspace. Typing a message in Slack that includes “@here” or “@channel” notifies everyone in that channel. This sends an alert to their desktop, or, in many cases, their personal cell phones. As such, these commands are reserved for instructors and BloomTech staff. LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Bloom Institute of Technology is a 100% online institution with no physical locations for students to learn from or meet. Bloom Institute of Technology does not have a traditional library due to their online presence and the subject matter taught. Bloom Institute of Technology's “library” is 100% online and housed on a learning management system (LMS). Within the LMS students have access to videos, assignments, daily syllabi, and resources Bloom Institute of Technology has created and curated for students who need extra help. STUDENT RECORDS Student records will be maintained on site at the administrative site for five years from the last date of attendance. Transcripts are maintained permanently and available upon request via email to ticket in the Hub. EMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE Bloom Institute of Technology graduates work directly with the Careers team to produce career materials, prepare for interviews, and understand how to optimize the job search.

20 140 Bloom Institute of Technology 1 - 4 Total Labs Hours 20 140 Total Program Hours 960 COURSE DESCRIPTIONS Full Stack Web Development Core JavaScript Fundamentals 40 Hours Everything we teach during the first couple months of your experience here at Bloom Institute of Technology revolves around software engineering for the web. One of the most powerful web languages is JavaScript. Without it, there is no modern web. Web browsers use JavaScript to power rich user experiences we have all come to expect. Bloom Institute of Technology looks at JavaScript through this analogy. Think of a web page as a house. You need someone to architect and get in the structure of your house, someone to add in the design, and someone to add in the electricity to power the house. If you were to think about HTML, CSS and JavaScript as the three necessary building blocks, for a web page, HTML could be the blueprint of what your house should be, CSS is the design of your house and JavaScript powers the electrical interactions that your house needs to have in order to be functional. JavaScript is everywhere today! And we have the opportunity here to dive deep enough into the language to teach you how to be proficient in building modern, complex and beautiful web applications that are used to power the web today! Advanced CSS and Intro to JavaScript 40 Hours Responsive design pushes our basic CSS styling forward into thousands of devices. A growing trend in today’s market continues to be mobile devices that range from large tablets to small screens. You need to be able to correctly deliver content to all of these mediums. Preprocessors introduce variables, scoping, mixins, and functions into CSS allowing for a more robust programming experience. Most development shops rely heavily on preprocessors to get large amounts of work done across multiple teams. Learning how to use preprocessors will increase overall CSS productivity, reduce errors, and prepare students for the workplace. Preprocessing is a great introduction to JavaScript concepts like scope, variables, and DRY code paradigms. User Interface and Git 40 Hours Having the ability to craft user interfaces is key for full stack web developers in all organizations. Another key ability for professional developers is knowing how to use Page 36 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.

Git. We cover both topics throughout the week culminating in a multi-page website sprint challenge. The goal of this sprint is to build user interfaces and introduce Git into our work-flow.

Intro to React 40 Hours React is one of the most popular UI libraries today, and in terms of Single Page Applications many (including the react team) tend to think of the library as the “V” in MVC. That is, the View layer of the Model, View, Controller paradigm. React is a pattern, a mindset, that will help developers that use it, build small, reusable pieces of UI that can be easily put together to make a large scale application. Single Page Applications 40 Hours This week we’ll be learning about using React Router. With the UI Library (React) and the Client Side Routing Library (React Router) you’ll be able to craft rich, robust and highly scale-able Single Page Applications.

Getting it in the right “shape” and format for analysis and modeling is always a challenge. This week we’ll practice these skills, and learn to appreciate the many tools Python gives us for these tasks. Statistical Tests and Experiments 40 Hours An important application of statistics is designing and evaluating experiments. In the context of web applications, often this means an A/B test where users are exposed to different versions of a site and their behavior/outcomes compared. How do you design a good, and valid, experiment? How long should you run your experiment? How do you evaluate the outcome of an experiment? How do you balance Page 40 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.

all this math and science with the practical business and product concerns you’re working with? These are the sorts of questions we’ll discuss in this sprint. Linear Algebra 40 Hours Linear Algebra is the foundation of nearly all the numerical routines used for practical statistics and machine learning. It’s a deep topic, but this week we’ll learn enough to appreciate how it is used and applied to the many models we’ll learn. Applied Computer Science 1 40 Hours Explore programming and problem solving skills that will prepare you to pass a technical exam and start working on your job search by completing career readiness activities. Linear Models 40 Hours Unit 2 is about Predictive Modeling, also known as supervised machine learning with labeled, tabular data! We can make models to predict continuous numbers, and answer questions like “How much?” or “How many?” This modeling task is called regression. We’ll begin our study of predictive modeling with linear models for regression tasks: ordinary least squares regression, and ridge regression. We can also make models to predict discrete classes, and answer questions like “Is this A or B or C?” This modeling task is called classification. We’ll continue our study of predictive modeling with a linear model for classification tasks, called logistic regression. Kaggle Challenge 40 Hours We’ll continue our study of predictive modeling with tree-based models, such as decision trees and random forests. We’ll also learn how to clean data with outliers, impute missing values, encode categoricals, and engineer new features. This sprint, your project is about water pumps in Tanzania. Can you predict which water pumps are faulty? Applied Modeling 40 Hours For your portfolio project, you will choose your own labeled, tabular dataset, train a predictive model, and publish a web app or blog post with visualizations to explain your model. You will use your chosen dataset for all assignments during the Applied Modeling sprint. You’ll learn how to define machine learning problems, begin the modeling process, choose targets, choose evaluation metrics, and avoid leakage. You’ll improve your model predictions with powerful models like gradient boosting and feature selection techniques like hyperparameter optimization. You’ll improve your model interpretation with insightful visualizations like partial dependence plots and shapley value force plots. Applying predictive modeling to real decisions isn’t easy, but these are the skills employers are looking for!

Software Engineering and Reproducible Research 40 Hours “A data scientist knows more about statistics than a software engineer, and more about programming than a statistician.” Being a data scientist means applying statistics and analysis of data, writing real working code that runs and gets results. You’ve been doing that your entire time at Bloom Institute of Technology , but much of our work has been in the land of Python notebooks, a useful but limited environment intended for exploration, not engineering. Some place a divide between science and engineering – theory and practice, ideas and application. A skilled data scientist masters both: science informs engineering, and engineering increases the rigor of science by making it reproducible and scalable. In this unit we will build the core skills needed to communicate and work with software engineers. You may have pleasantly surprised colleagues if you not only know the latest and greatest machine learning model but build and approach it with software development best practices. To do this, we will go beyond Python notebooks, into the world of modules, packages, containers, and more. SQL and Databases 40 Hours What does “data” look like? If you try to picture it, you probably see rows and columns on a spreadsheet or CSV, that can be conveniently loaded with pandas and cleaned and analyzed from there. As a data scientist, this will often be the form you want your data to be in, but it’s probably not how your data started. Most modern data is generated automatically by human interaction with a web-backed application – every app they download, every click they make, all travels over a network and is saved by the server. Though in the rawest of forms this may be a log file, in most cases where it really goes is a database. So, what is a database? A place for data! If it’s relational, it’s actually still pretty close to that rows and columns picture, though with some important additional functionality. These databases are commonly accessed using SQL – Structured Query Language – a standard based on relational algebra, and a useful tool known not just by data scientists but by software engineers, MBAs, and more. If it’s so-called “NoSQL,” then it’s most likely a document-oriented database (or document store), which, despite the glamor, is essentially a bunch of key-value pairs. What key-value pair object are you already familiar with? Python dicts! In this sprint we will learn about both of the above paradigms, and how the separation between them is not as fine a line as you may think. Page 42 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.

Productization and Cloud 40 Hours For a computer program to be “real”, it has to be available – these days, that means deployed to the cloud. But what is the cloud, and what does it mean to build and deploy something to it? We’ll learn that and more in this sprint. Applied Computer Science 3 40 Hours Explore programming and problem solving skills that will prepare you to pass a technical exam and start working on your job search by completing career readiness activities Natural Language Processing 40 Hours A particularly common set of unstructured data is the sort of information you are consuming right now – natural language, in written or spoken form. Human language is a fascinating phenomenon and powerful expressive tool, but despite the many rules of grammar language is not a fully defined deterministic system in the same way that programming languages (like Python) are. Language can be thought of as semi-structured, but even the structure it has (nouns, adjectives, verbs, etc.) can be difficult to recognize. Most humans are fluent in one or more languages, but even that fluency doesn’t mean they can explicitly list or consciously understand the “rules” they are following. Nonetheless, human language is the main form of content on the Internet (and beyond), and the ability to computationally process it at scale can lead to many compelling products. A brand may want to track the sentiment of users towards them on social media before and after an advertising campaign, or a news service may want to recognize key entities in a news story to generate a high-quality automated summary. But text is not numbers, and even representing it as ASCII/Unicode values doesn’t capture the meaning, just the abstract labeling of symbols. How can we hope to achieve these sorts of tasks? In this sprint we will learn assorted NLP (Natural Language Processing) techniques. Many involve cleaning and preprocessing, which can then allow us to feed the data into the more traditional statistical models we are familiar with. There are also more advanced specialized models that are particularly conducive to NLP which we will address. Neural Network Foundations 40 Hours Neural Networks, or the latest and greatest in predictive modeling. Or is it? Inspired by biology and based on math that’s been around for decades, the past few years have seen some pretty impressive results as computational resources allow running much larger networks. Major Neural Network Architectures 40 Hours Now that you've learned the foundations of Neural Networks, it's time to go deep! All "deep learning" really means is "there's at least some hidden layers," but there's a Page 43 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.

great deal of variety both in the layer architecture and the behavior of individual "neurons" in the network. We'll study a few of the most effective recent innovations in neural networks and deep learning and think a bit about what the future may hold. Is deep learning the path to artificial general intelligence? Probably not – but it's a pretty useful tool along the way.
