Text on the meme

TEACHER! WILL WE EVER USE TREE TRAVERSAL? YOU WON’T BUT ONE OF THE SMART KIDS MIGHT.

What it means

A student raises her hand in a classroom and asks the teacher whether they will ever use tree traversal. The teacher replies that she will not, but one of the smart kids might, joking about how computer science concepts can feel irrelevant or intimidating to ordinary students. It is commonly used as a reaction to niche technical knowledge that only an especially clever person would understand.
