Luca Iaconi-Stewart is a self-described "crazy guy who loves aviation." In fact, he loves it so much that he spent the last five years building a table-size replica of the Boeing 777 airplane made entirely of paper file folders. "I like the way the planes look and I love the engines," says 22-year-old Iaconi-Stewart.

Here's what I like about the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos: it puts the really big topics on the agenda. For me, one of the biggest issues is gender inequality.
